SAN DIEGO — UrbnTek, a San Diego-based, family-owned company, has invented a giant “fire blanket” system that they say will protect a modest-sized home if a wildfire threatens the structure.

If given enough time, the crew will show up to the home and cover it with thousands of square feet of a specially treated carbon fiber material that will withstand flames and temperatures up to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit.

Although the system has yet to be battle-tested in a real wildfire, UrbnTek has tested their system for CalFire and other firefighting agencies.
