Grease Fire in Jacksonville Home
12/3/2020 (Permalink)
The damage shown to this oven is the result of a grease fire, which are a common cause of home fires and related damage.
Steps to put out a grease fire:
- Turn off source of heat (burner / element).
- Do NOT pour water on it.
- Attempt to remove all oxygen from the flame. You can cover with another pot, or baking pan.
- If you can't cover it, dump baking soda (lots of it) on it.
Keep a lid nearby when you’re cooking to smother small grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding the lid over the pan and turn off the stovetop. Leave the pan covered until it is completely cooled.
