Great Info to Know
Great Info to Know
I wasn't sure where to post this but it is infp that could save your lives.
Dear Friends,
I was Executive Director of the Institute for Burn Medicine for
San Diego and Imperial Counties when we lived in
California. Besides raising the money to establish a Burn
Treatment Center at the University Hospital there, I conducted extensive
public education campaigns in Burn Prevention.
A friend recently sent me the attached short video - and like an
old fire-horse I heard the bell ring and am rushing to send this
excellent prevention piece to each of you. It is well worth watching!
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 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.
P.S. Also remember to turn off the vent over your
stove if it's on at the time of a fire.
