[BITList] A Kitchen Fire

[John Feltham]

Watch the video...Then pass it on! THIS COULD SAVE A  LIFE!

I never realized  that a wet dishcloth can be a one-size-fits-all-lid  
to cover a fire in a pan!

This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to deal  
with a  common kitchen fire... Oil in a frying pan.

Read the following  introduction, and then watch the show... It's a  
real  eye-opener!!

At the 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 oil,  sinks to the bottom where it  
instantly becomes heated. 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 hits 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.

This  is a powerful message----watch the video and don't forget what  
you see.   Tell your whole family, and your friends about  this video  
or better yet, send this to them.
