Paramedic Carrying Thermal Equipment

A paramedic is shown standing calmly while holding a compact folded emergency blanket. This specialized protective foil item serves as essential thermal rescue equipment designed to protect patients from sudden temperature drops during outdoor emergencies.

How Thermal Foil Blankets Work

Emergency blankets, often called space blankets, were originally created by NASA in 1964 to shield spacecraft from heat. They reflect up to ninety percent of a person's body heat inward, preventing hypothermia in cold or shock conditions. Despite being thin and lightweight, the metallic material provides windproof and waterproof shelter.

Colors of Rescue Blankets and Uniforms

  • Emergency blanket: shiny silver or bright gold foil surface
  • Paramedic jacket: dark red, blue, or yellow high-visibility fabric
  • Trousers: dark gray or navy work pants
  • Medical gloves: disposable blue or white nitrile

When do rescue teams use thermal blankets?
