What are these fire proof blankets made of??

Like seriously I don't understand how a blanket could resist such intense fire for hours

Some combination of pyroxene and silicium is typical. Fire containment blankets aren't new, but this is a new form factor in a package convenient for one or two fire fighters to cover a car safely.
