Fire Safety Tips | Kitchen Oil Fire

admin — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 08:15:24 +0000

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.

Fire Safety Song

admin — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 14:23:05 +0000

For those of us who need advice on how to avoid a firey death, but look to YouTube for instant information rather than read about it or ask a fireman. Ahem.
The quality of this song is diabolically bad, and I KNOW that, so no need to tell me.
Also, please note that I don’t care if you dial a different emergency number, so if you feel compelled to tell me that the US dials 911 instead of 999, don’t. I will not praise you for it.

Music is Spanish Flea by Herb Alpert.

::LYRICS::

Now when your house is burning down,
follow these rules now, do not frown,
you must keep close to the floor and close
all the windows and doors now…
Otherwise you will soon die.

Call 999
And if you find you have the time,
ask for the fire brigade and say
that your house has just been slayed…
by the inferno of Hell.

Do not attempt
to have a barbeque inside your cosy bungalow.
This will result in a quite large catastrophe,
so how to put out a fire, you should know.

Generally, use H2O,
that’s water if you did not know,
you should avoid using petrol and
also compressed aerosol cans…
You will end up with no face.

Fire alarms, can come in quite handy
when you’re surrounded by huge flames.
They will alert you when you must make your escape
but if the batteries are dead, you’re to blame…

Do not play with matches or lighters,
they can be quite nasty blighters,
it could mean the difference between death
and one more meaningful breath.
So you must make the right choice.

So remember these lovely rules,
and you will not look like a fool.
All that’s left to say is goodbye friends,
don’t make me tell you again…
Fire is quite harmful.
