Wildfire Protection: Whole-house fire blanket protection from wildfires (wildland-urban interface fires)
Fumiaki Takahashi
Professor of Mechanical Engineering
Case Western Reserve University
"I thought about a means to reduce wildland fire damage and found a U.S. patent 'conflagration-retardative curtain' i.e., a fire blanket, issued during World War Two. In addition, the U.S. Forest Service firefighters managed to save a historic forest cabin by wrapping it with their fire shelter materials. The whole-house fire blanket is a viable method of protection against fires at the wildland-urban interface."
