You may have seen this before, but I recently saw it again circulating the email route. It's a good reminder as to what to do with a grease fire!
This is from the email that I got:
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 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 hits the ceiling and fills the entire room.
Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup of either 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 about this video. Or better yet, send the YouTube link to them!
