PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE this informative and sobering video.

THANK YOU, SB:

Dear neighbors,
I wanted to share a quick tip I have received and a video clip (30-second, very short, dramatic) about how to deal with a common kitchen fire...oil in a frying pan. Hopefully, none of us has to deal with such situation, but this video clip is an eye-opener. You may share it with your families.

"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."

Here's a link to the video on Youtube to help keep our families safe:

Please forward this on to friends and family.  Well worth knowing.
