This video is only 34 seconds long but if you're ever in
this situation it will save your kitchen, house and most of
all you if you follow the advise.
Watch this video and learn what not to use to put out a
grease fire.
At Charleston Navy base at the Fire Fighting Training school
they 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 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 resembles 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.
