Oil and water don't mix so when adding water the oil (burning) just gets pushed away and spreads. Also A B C extinguishers will work on small kitchen fires but a cooking fire is actually a class K fire.
Salt is a great absorber of heat for its volume. A moderate amount - about a cup - can help extinguish a decent size grease fire. Pour some in the pan and cover with a lid.
Dry chemical, while perfectly suitable for residential kitchen fires, is not “designed” for kitchen grease. Wet chemical (50-60% water...) is actually designed for kitchen grease and required by code in commercial kitchens.
i had a kitchen fire before when i was only 11 years old it was big my mom was passed out and it was only me and my 3 year old sister i got the fire out by a lid and then i called 911 for my mom now my mom cant move her right side and im 20 now and still scare to use a stove
So in december of last year(2011)I had a grease fire in my kitchen because my grandma was cooking french fries and she wasnt paying attention so it caught and after she burned her finger and she said she would never make french fries ever again and that night we had to call servpro and that week they cleaned it
@bauerman14 Well, I have tried that before, if you would like, you could go on my channel and look at my powder fire extinguisher video I made a while ago, it was a BC fire extinguisher used on an A fire, when Ii first sprayed it, it re-ignited, so you can see that I had to douse it again with the extingsuiher. It does make the fire go down, but it 80% will re-ignite. But it will most likely work if you use up most or all of the canister on the fire. So hope that helps!!
I find it hard to believe that "any amount of water" would cause the rapid fire expansion. What if you dropped a few gallons onto that flaming pan all at once? I just don't see how the fire could cause all that water to become steam and then get ignited.
Go ahead and heat some oil to normal cooking temperature and drop 3 single droplets of water from a pipet or a straw and see how much the oil reacts and images if it was on fire and those droplets flying everywhere were burning.
@tRAVISK24 As someone said before these types of videos should be shown at school at some point. Let's face it 3/5 people's first instinct is to trench it in water.
i was frying porkchoppys today and some grease spilled on da burner. well a small flame occured and it scared the poop out of my pants. sooo i fill a big cup of water incase it happens again. BAD IDEA. (DO NOT USE WATER) I almost died
It is absolutely terrible that you are telling people that an ABC FIRE EXTINGUISHER is good for grease fires! IT can work on small grease fires but not ones continued to be heated! I’m a firefighter get a TYPE K Extinguisher and if you ever have any questions or concerns about fire safety call your local fire department they would be more than glad to help you before an incident than after one! Don’t listen to these idiots who couldn’t do there research. What there saying is like saying a baseball bat is what you want for pounding nails into wood! Sure it will do it but wouldn’t you rather have a damn hammer??? Common News! This makes me furious because people trust what the news tells them to be 100% accurate! Someone could die trying to extinguish a grease fire with the wrong fire extinguisher and that could be on you guys! It’s your duty and responsibility to get the facts right especially when it comes down to safety! You should make a video acknowledging your mistake and correcting it for your viewers. That will be the day when the media admits there wrong!
Jake from state farm has got your back :)
setting things on fire? I could work there.
Or smashing things up
Hey, Phil Swift, can you fix that with flex tape. TAKE THAT.LOL

Another great 'How to" vid about ktchen fires under "Kitchen Fire Response" on You tube.
Baking soda can also put out a grease fire. I had one and used it and it worked!
sonata1618 maybe flour to
NO not flour, do NOT use flour
They didn't mention baking soda in this video I don't think
well you know extinguishers rated for kitchen fires contain baking soda
@@beekay7269 NEVER use flour. EVER
POV: you here from your cooking class or fire safty class
I remember watching this in 2014!

When you watched this for school
same. this shit is dumb asf
How did I get here from searching Aurora Borealis?
Awww I'm....12 years late...
Why am I here?
Such cheesy red letter warning prints.
Reminds me of that excerpt about fear in the media pointed out by Michael Moore in one of his documentaries.

actually deep fat frying if done right actually does not add the tons of grease many claim that it does
My stove is far from cabinets, counters, etc. all that is above it is a metal pot hanger
So in december of last year(2011)I had a grease fire in my kitchen because my grandma was cooking french fries and she wasnt paying attention so it caught and after she burned her finger and she said she would never make french fries ever again and that night we had to call servpro and that week they cleaned it
worst part is they ruined a cast iron skillet
It's not fire it's just Aurora Borealis. Everything is fine.

can I put this video on my bussiness web site/?????
Telesforo C. Reyes you don’t want too! It’s not correct! Look for a video that references Type K fire extinguishers for kitchen grease fires.

Grease fires are the worst nightmare who else agrees with me
They're pretty scary. Very scary, in fact.
You can also put flower on it the flower you cook with
Flour can explode and is highly flammable. Baking soda or salt is a better choice.
Adult LikeaBoss ohh lol
the first thing i did... was to put baking soda in the pan
@novatrek I agree
It was interesting until it became an advertisement for First Alert.
I threw my flaming pan in a wet sink and called it a day. Got lucky.
check the big hair
I was going to to try to cook but nevermind
The man was supposed to gently put the wet towel on the pan not throw it onto the pan
@djburgerjoint wow do not hold grease in the house next time

johnny butt it’s been 6 years since your comment lol I bet you haven’t ever put water on a grease fire since then have ya? Lol life lesson learned lol
If you don’t know that water makes a grease fire bigger then I think it’s time for some life lessons
Eric the Clown put it out with his big shoe
My mom died with fire
i hope this is a joke because i laughed my ass off

@DeviL what was happened
3:52 that's terrible advice holy shit
