This is a very quick video about how to put out a fire. It is well worth your time.
READ THIS BEFORE YOU WATCH THE VIDEO!
The Key here is to use a towel that is not dripping wet...wring it out first!!!!
Let your kids know too!
Dear Friends,
I was Executive Director of the Institute for Burn Medicine for San Diego and Imperial
Counties when we lived in California . Besides raising the money to establish a Burn
Treatment Center at the University Hospital there, I conducted extensive public education
campaigns in Burn Prevention.
A friend recently sent me the attached short video - and like an old fire-horse, I heard
the bell ring and am rushing to send this excellent prevention piece to each of you. It
is well worth watching! And it could save your life.
This is very stunning - 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.
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 to 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 this to them.
