The document provides instructions on how to properly use a fire blanket in two scenarios: for an object on fire and for a person on fire. For an object, one should remove the blanket from its package by the tabs, fully open it while protecting their hands, gently place it over the flames to cut off oxygen, then turn off any fuel source and leave covered until cool before calling emergency services if needed. For a person, the same removal and covering steps are followed but with wrapping the blanket around the burning individual and then immediately seeking medical help.
