The purpose of this 30 second video is to demonstrate what happens when water is used on an oil or grease fire.
***DO NOT THROW WATER ON AN OIL/GREASE FIRE***
Other information related to this video:
This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to deal with a common kitchen fire ... oil in a frying pan. Please read the following introduction and then watch the show .. It's a real eye-opener.
At a Fire Fighting Training school they demonstrated 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 the 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.
Again:
***DO NOT THROW WATER ON AN OIL/GREASE FIRE***
