That happened with a neighbor down the street. A bacon dinner got away from him and well lets just say he is getting a new kitchen and the fire department is giving him a lecture.
I cannot recount the number of kitchen fires I responded to in my 35 years as a volunteer firefighter. As you can see in the video, water and burning grease do not mix! It explodes! If you experience such a fire, turn off the burner and cover the pot/pan it with a lid to smother the fire. BY ALL MEAN DO NOT TRY TO CARRY A BURNING POT/PAN TO THE SINK OR OUTSIDE!! Burns hurt and homes burn. My kitchen is equipped with two 4-in-1, (A, B, C and K type fire) Non-toxic fire suppression canisters. I keep them at opposite sides of the kitchen so either one is reachable in the event of a stove fire. Remember, cover-to-smother.
Excellent advice, Hook-n-Haul! Thank you very much! 😀 —Diane at RVtravel.com
I once heard one of my children yell “DAD!” from the kitchen and got there just in time to stop water from being dumped on a pan of flaming cooking oil. Thank goodness too and lesson learned for the kids. Can’t leave them alone for a second right?
