Hope for the best and prepare for the worst, as the saying goes.

But here’s what people often forget about emergencies: you don’t — and usually can’t — expect them. That’s what makes them so bad.

If you got an email three days before you broke your arm, or a text message letting you know you’ll run into some car trouble in half an hour, you could ready yourself and reduce the damages (at least a little).

Unfortunately, life doesn’t happen that way. The best time to prepare for the worst isn’t in the moment, but whenever the opportunity presents itself beforehand.

Once such opportunity? Today! This 2-pack of emergency fire blankets from Mart Cobra is available on Amazon for 18% off. Pick up this bestselling bundle and join thousands of others in the comfort of knowing you have the tools to defend your home in an emergency.

Easy-to-use and easy on the wallet, these Mart Cobra fire blankets can quickly put out small fires around your home. All you have to do is pull the tab and toss the blanket over the flames. Unlike fire extinguishers, these blankets produce no mess — plus, they never expire.

Keep a pack of these blankets in your kitchen (to protect against grease fires) and grab extra for your car, garage, boat or camping gear. They’re easier to use than a fire extinguisher and work on most indoor and outdoor fires. In case of a large fire, they double as a protective layer that you can wrap around your body. Get peace of mind for as little as $36.99.
