Serious Safety Tip

My niece sent this to me. It's short, simple and important. You may already know it. But I've heard so many different versions of how to put out a kitchen fire, it's hard to remember which is right. Watch this and you'll never forget. It came with this copy which explains why the alternatives are dangerous:

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 a10 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 iti 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 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 this to them.

Be safe.
