thread_title:  External links modified 

message: 1. A boilover happens when water is added to an oil/fat fire. An oil/fat fire alone is not a boilover. But in this sentence they are treated as the same thing: "that fire blankets should never be used to extinguish a Boilover such as a chip pan fire".
2. "Consumers may send in their existing fire blankets, which will then receive a sticker stating 'niet geschikt voor olie- en vetbranden' ("not suitable for oil- and fat fires"). " 
Is the sticker added because of some potential for an oil/fat fire to become a boilover? Or is this section confusing boilovers and oil/fat fires? In which case the word "boilover" should simply be removed entirely from this section. I'm guessing the latter but perhaps someone more knowledgeable could comment. In the meantime I'll remove the references to boilovers.

message: Hey guys, think this page could be updated to include commentary on not using a fire blanket on a battery fire, or some further exploration of when not to use a fire blanket.
: Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. If you can find and cite an authority discussing the utility (or inutility) of fire blankets for battery fires, that would be as much as we can give here. --Wtshymanski (talk) 19:30, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Battery fires 

message: "A fire blanket is a safety device designed to extinguish incipient (starting) fires."
Considering "incipient" isn't used in the rest of the article(?), should it be removed and replaced with a simpler explanation? I suggest: "... extinguish small or beginning fires."
