Oil on the stove fires are rough, because there
is so much heat stored in the oil. Tough to put
the fire out, and have it stay out.

Actually, it's very easy. Just put a lid on the pot or pan, turn the
heat off and let it cool.

You know, that does work in so many cases.
I'm glad some one out there still has common
sense. Not many "kids these days" know how
to do much that is simple.

The easiest way to extinguish an oil fire in a pot is to use an item
that you already have. Turn off the burner and put the lid on the pot.
No lid? Use any non-flammable cover like another pot or pan. Anything
flat and is larger than the pot. You just have to cut off the oxygen to
the fire.

Sounds easier than trying out a $45 spray can that
might not work when you need it.

Some people take several reading, before
they learn. I know I do, many times. Your
gentle and correct instruction may have
saved a life or a house. Please keep

I'd consider the clean-up mess too caused by the dry chemicals. I have
an extinguisher near the kitchen if tried and true remedy of lid and
turning off heat fail or fire were to spread.

OTOH, I know of a guy whose clothes caught fire in a laboratory and
rather than mess up the lab with the safety shower went outside to use a
hose. He was severely burned.

Chemistry student was severly burned in a lab fire when chain on safety
shower broke. Always best to test your equipment routinely. When I
worked in a lab we had to test the shower monthly and sign a tag that we
had done so.

I've done it many times. Once my wife got in a huff because I yelled
at her for carrying a burning broiler outside. "Why didn't you just
close the oven, says I". "Well, every time I opened it, it flared
up!". "Well, don't do that!"

Sorry to hear that. I guess a bit of mop water on
the floor isn't so bad after all?

That's no good. I agree, the equipment tests are
important. Bucket under the shower. Have a worker
on a ladder to push the valve back up. Little or
no water damage.

I can imagine a scenario where the shower was routinely tested but in
the panic of a fire the chain was yanked hard enough to break it. That
said, I've seen many safety showers that probably have never been
tested since they were installed (all sorts of stuff stored under
them).

I have had the pleasure of being associated with both of the types of
things that can happen with a oil fire that have been mentioned in this
thread, once directly, and once by way of a story I was told just the other
night.

A few years ago I was talking to a neighbor in her back yard. I was facing
her kitchen window, she was facing away. Suddenly we heard beeping and she
said "Is that a smoke detector?" I replied, "Yes it is. Your kitchen is on
fire!"

We ran inside to find a frying pan on fire. While she ran around with her
thumb up her butt looking for a fire extinguisher, I calmly grabbed the
cover that was right next to the pan and covered it. Problem
solved....other than the scorched cabinets above the stove.

Just the other night a different neighbor told me what his father-in-law
had done when he had a grease fire in a frying pan. He tried to carry the
burning pan through the house to the back door to throw it in the backyard.
Unfortunately he spilled burning oil in a number of spots, which spread the
fire and did extensive damage to the house.

Luckily he just kept going out of the house once he realized that he was
trailing fire. No one was hurt, but the family room needed a lot of repair.

Particularly when opening a door. The flames tend to come back at
your. Really dumb.

You're a good neighbor.

As to the guy carrying the pan, he is fortunate
not to have poured the flaming oil on himself.

I worked in a lab that had a safety shower. It was mostly for chemical
spills (like acid). Some one decided to test it using a wastebasket to
catch the water (there was no drain). The shower had a valve like a
commercial-building toilet - it dumped far more water than the
wastebasket held.

-----------------------
The state fair has a demonstration of putting water on an oil fire. A
pan with oil is left on a stove burner until it gets real hot and
ignites. Then water is poured on it (with a real long stick). The
fireball is quite impressive.

Ours had handles. Squirt in a bucket was all we had to do.
