Abstract
A fire protective cover for protecting from warehouse fires non-metallic liquid holding containers supported by a steel cage is provided. The cover has a heat insulating layer and a heat reflective layer adjacent the heat insulating layer on the side opposite the steel support cage. The cover drapes over the top and sides of the steel cage, creating a space between the cover and the container. The cover mitigates the possibility that the container will melt during a warehouse fire by reducing the heat transfer from the fire to the steel cage and by creating an oxygen depleted zone between the cover and the container.
