Fire

Seattle Fire Department Engine 2 and Ladder 4 being dispatched and responding to 1000 Aurora Avenue North at 1547 on 12/26/08. Engine 2 went on 3,501 runs during 2007, making it the busiest Engine company in the department. Ladder 4 went on 2,133 runs during 2007, making it the busiest Truck company in the department. My apologies for how shaky the video is after the companies leave the station (I guess I got a little excited!). Quartered in Station 2 are Engine 2, Ladder 4, Aid 2, Aid 82, and Safety 2.

Dramatic 30-second video about how to deal with a common kitchen fire … oil in a frying pan. You probably never realized that a wet dishcloth can be a one size fits all lid to cover a fire in a pan! Or that pouring water on an oil fire WILL have disasterous results!!

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 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 remember what you see. Tell your whole family about this video. Or better yet, send them the link to it.
