This is such an important subject … as old as I am I never heard of doing the
wet towel thing… but I will certainly remember it after seeing this video on Kitchen Fire Safety
This is a powerful message—-watch the video and don’t forget
what you see. Tell your whole family about this video. Or better
yet, send this to them.
This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to deal
with a common kitchen fire … oil in a frying pan. Please read
the following introduction and then watch the show .. It’s a real
eye-opener!!
At Fire Fighting Training school they would demonstrate this
with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would
don a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a 10 foot
pole toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the
attention of the students.
The water, being heavier than the oil, sinks to the bottom where
it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of the steam
blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a
thirty foot high fireball that resembled a nuclear blast. Inside
the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball its the ceiling and fills the entire room.
***** Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup
creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite. You can use baking soda, but you need alot of it to put it out. Do NOT turn on the exhaust fan, the flames will be drawn up into the vent, and well, you get the picture.
Please view this video clip and be sure to share it with at least ONE person:
