When is it recommended to use a heavy canvas cover?

Using a heavy canvas cover for salvage operations during firefighting is a standard practice because it serves several critical functions. During a fire incident, one of the key efforts is to prevent damage to property that is not directly involved in the fire. Heavy canvas covers are durable and can effectively protect furniture, carpets, and other items from water damage and debris while firefighting efforts are ongoing.

These covers are designed to be resistant to heat, making them a suitable choice in environments where they may be exposed to residual heat from fire. Additionally, they can be easily deployed and secured, allowing firefighters to move quickly and efficiently while protecting the exposed property from further damage.

In other scenarios, while heavy canvas covers can also be useful for creating makeshift shelters or for specific containment measures, their primary purpose in the context of firefighting is to facilitate salvage operations, ensuring that valuable or sensitive items are preserved as much as possible while the firefighting effort is underway.
