And it could  save your life.   This is very stunning -  > please read first and then watch the very short clip.  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. Read the following  Introduction, then watch the  > show ...It's a real eye-opener!!   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. > > >
