An apparatus for containing fires including a fire containment pouch that includes an upper portion and a lower portion, the fire containment pouch is a flame-resistant material. The upper portion includes a pouch section that is coated with an intumescent material and the lower portion including a cuff section. The upper portion and the lower portion juxtaposed one against each other to define an outer containment portion of elongate length from a top of the pouch section and a bottom of the cuff section. The fire containment pouch is adaptable to be pulled inside out thereby transforming the outer containment portion to an inner containment portion and a fastener secured to the bottom of the cuff section to seal an object within the inner containment portion after the fire containment pouch has been pulled inside out.
