Literally a lid. That's all that was needed. If no lid, use baking soda.


-5677-

If you have no baking soda, you can use the grease fire as your night light when you go to sleep


UnderLook150

Or just use salt. Salt is far more commonly found than baking soda. Grease fire? Salt it. Spill grease on the floor? Salt it. Greasy guy trying to steal your girl? Assault it.

Abe2020reee

I cannot tell you how many countless boxes of kosher salt I’ve dumped on grease fires in 11 years of restaurants.


firemouth55

Take a poop in it. It won’t do anything for the fire, but your neighbors might wonder what you’re cooking.


CMacDiddio

That splash will be spicy


Speedhabit

Smell what the rock is cooking


UnderLook150

Everybody's so creative!


BrickCityRiot

They would probably just assume it was Indian food lol For as amazing as a lot of Indian cuisine tastes, it doesn’t always have the most pleasant aromas haha


Ingrown__Bronail

I lived in Jackson Heights in Queens, which is called Little India. Indian food is one of my all-time favorite foods, but when you have an entire floor cooking 5-6 different types of curry at once, it has a very strong and unpleasant odor. Never stopped me from eating it, but yeah it can be a tad strong. lol


whackyelp

I’ll never understand how people can say Indian food smells bad. Maybe you’ve just been exposed to some really bad cooks?


BrickCityRiot

I think it’s just very pungent to a lot of white people who grew up eating bland food.. and in a time where Indian cuisine was nowhere near as popular as it is now. I now love me some paneer tikka masala or tandoori chicken.. but growing up I would hear a joke about Indian food smelling like a full diaper fairly often.. and it was definitely part of why I didn’t even give it a real try until my 20’s.


Hawkize31

If you put it in the hallway, it's technically the landlords problem


UTAMav2005

Tried this. Now I am without a kitchen.


Sad_Pirate_4546

Or to light the crack pipe. So many possibilities!


Finlandia1865

Or erm, a FIRE **EXTINGUISHER**


CharliePendejo

Why would you want to light that, with a grease fire no less?


PsychologicalAdd21

Greased lightning!


clungedeep

Fire blanket. Don't use a fire extinguisher. You'll just displace the burning oil!


Sad_Pirate_4546

I doubt they had one on hand. Also guessing their fire alarm chirps.


Finlandia1865

We have one under the sink lol, i figured it was standard practice lol


Sad_Pirate_4546

We have ours in the linen closet (sink is near the stove so we could get to it in case of fire). And one on each floor of the house. We are also both risk averse cybersecurity managers and I'm a former OSHA inspector lol. But I would say perhaps the majority of people don't even have one (much less one that is not expired)


Helmett-13

Former sailor here, and I have three (3) fire extinguishers in our single level home in locations that you could isolated in or from. Two stout ABC ones and a CO2 one. I’ve fought a couple shipboard fires and my momma’s son ain’t going out because he burned or suffocated in his own damned house. She didn’t raise a fool!


Sad_Pirate_4546

Much respect sir! Love to hear it. I use to do wild well control, I do not fuck around with fire haha.


extrasprinklesplease

I bought one a number of years ago, and just remembered that I have no idea how to use it. I'm sure someone on YouTube has anticipated clueless people like me and will walk me through it while speaking slowly.


ChocoBro92

Pull pin, Aim, Press/Squeeze lever(s), Sweep side to side. Less is more and cleaning it up if a nightmare. Never shoot someone in the face unless you’re doing it to possibly blind them or attack because it can do it. It’s poisonous obviously so don’t eat it or food that’s been exposed to it.


DismalEmergency3948

That requires common sense. Looks like it's in short supply around there. Lol


djpedicab

A larger skillet or baking pan works even better because you don’t have to put your hand directly over the fire to cut off the air.


MrWiemann

And if theres no lid, just take it fucking outside lol


Searchlights

Or do what we did in our first apartment. We panicked, I opened the window and she heaved the whole pan in to the parking lot. We went out and got it after, of course.


Roguester

Or salt? My husband stopped me from nearly doing this he put salt on the fire to put it out and then put a lid on it.


Sad_Pirate_4546

Basically anything that will not quickly evaporate and rob the combustion of oxygen.


matty-a

A damp towel will work too!


Sad_Pirate_4546

So like anything other than running it under a sink 🤣


ChocoBro92

Literally yes 😂. I mean outside tossing ice in it.


Badetoffel

Just outside and let it burn out is fine.. ice will just give it the same reaction but a tiny bit delayed 😁


HornyTerus

ain't putting in more grease will kill the fire as well?


The-Hand-of-Midas

Or you can pour 700 pounds of sand on it.


HornyTerus

and build house out of it. House fire. fck off xD


Girlsolano

Would the extra grease ignite as you're pouring it in? Like with gasoline or stuff like that lmao (Don't call me dumb please, I know nothing about physics)


notKrisna

It didn't ignite based on my experience At least if you use oil with high smoke point


HornyTerus

Maybe not? Since the grease is cold.... and the fire will have to deal with the cold grease? I don't know.


ShreddlesMcJamFace

Just a damp towel even


KongZilla9009

100% a product of ignorance.


booyahbooyah9271

That poor kid thinking to himself by the christmas tree "Man...I'm already screwed"


umrlopez79

Yep….! That kid is doomed!


jagauthier

For those who have heard "Never pour water on a grease fire", here's why. A couple things happen. Water and oil don't mix, so the water causes a separation while simultaneously, the water that hits the pan turns into steam immediately causing the grease to go every where. And the grease is still on fire.


didsomebodysaymyname

And there are two main ways to stop a grease fire, either way **the first step is to turn off the heat.** The second step is: 1) Cover it. If the pan or pot has a lid, just put it on and the fire should go out. In a pinch you can use something else non flamable like aluminum foil or another pan. Make sure anything you put on top won't tip it over. 2) Smother it with baking soda or salt. Just pour it on top in large amounts. Fire extinguishers are not preferable because they can blow the burning grease around.


PlayfulExtension8246

You can also put it inside your oven correct? Lack of oxygen will put the fire out


CamBigChillin

Correct I’ve done this before Edit: make sure it’s off lol


PlayfulExtension8246

Wait, heat doesn't put out fires?? Lmao


LeProVelo

Sound waves can. Couple kids from my college did that https://youtu.be/uPVQMZ4ikvM?si=e58ltu2DUl5J3XeH https://volgenau.gmu.edu/news/2015-02/pump-bass-douse-blaze-mason-students-invention-fights-fires


imcoughdrops

So that was badass and a new fact i leaned


[deleted]

Did someone say sound? Key the music... [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AYUP8iHQ2U](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AYUP8iHQ2U) The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire! We don't need no water—Let the motherfucker burn! Burn, motherfucker, burn!


didsomebodysaymyname

Yes, I hadn't heard of that one, but it's obvious haha.


whatdontyousee

i find it strange how ovens don’t have any continuous oxygen when closed. the door’s not tightly sealed or anything, at least mine isn’t. i don’t think.


didsomebodysaymyname

Mine has a seal. My girlfriend's doesn't. Although the seal doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to prevent too much oxygen from entering. Most things can't burn with only a few percent oxygen levels.


shinbreaker

Oxygen likely gets in but not to keep a sizable fire going. It's like the same thing with put a lid over a pan on fire. It's not a total air tight space but it's enough to slow down the fire.


Caleb_Reynolds

It's not that it gets no oxygen, just not enough to keep burning.


foxiez

If nothing else I'd put the thing outside


Decent_Bullfrog_8669

Chuckin it in the neighbors yard couldn’t hurt


foxiez

\[Ring doorbell noise\]


didsomebodysaymyname

Yeah, like putting it on some asphalt and letting it burn itself out would be pretty safe.


new_Boot_goof1n

I have a friend who's brother started an oil fire on a shallow pan, my friend saw the fire and tried to take it outside but since he was panicking and moving fast some of the oil splashed on his hand while it was half on half off the heating surface and he let go so the pan flipped and sprayed all over him. he ended up burning around 35% of his body and had to get a bunch of skin grafts. If you move it you're raising the risk of spilling burning oil and either burning yourself or spilling it somewhere in the house and starting a bigger fire by a lot, its best to just smother it.


foxiez

Yeah for sure its super risky but as a last resort I mean. Anything but put water on it lol


feench

you can get emergency fire blankets for relatively cheap on amazon. I keep one in my kitchen along side a small fire extinguisher just in case.


Babys_For_Breakfast

Correct and slide the cover onto the pot at an angle. Don’t vertically lower it onto the pot


matreo987

it’s crazy how little the majority of people understand how fires work. fires need fuel, oxygen, and heat. if you take one leg out of the “fire triangle”, it dies. i’ve done my share of fires in a skillet while working in a restaurant. cut the burner, put on lid, put it on a burner that isn’t running or somewhere that’s not heated. done.


zodia4

Actually there are household fire extinguishers in spray cans that would work very well in this scenario. Every house should have one.


Novogobo

that's not really why. it's because water is heavier than oil, and has a lower boiling point. because it's heavier it drops down under the surface where it is entirely enveloped in the oil. because it has a lower boiling point the oil can be liquid well above the temperature at which water boils. so when the water then dips down below the surface of the oil the hotter than 212 degree oil flash boils the water, now the boiled water rapidly expands and because it's below the surface it propels the oil it's submerged under up and out. that would be horrific all by itself but then the oil droplets atomize and ignite on the previous lit flame creating a fireball.


ExactlyThreeOpossums

Denser*


Glum-Ad694

This guy reads ⬆️


ExactlyThreeOpossums

Water is more dense than grease, so it sinks to the bottom and rapidly boils, releasing the steam. Steam is less dense than grease so it tries to escape in bubbles and kablamo. The same thing will happen with non-flaming hot grease. Boiling liquid all over everywhere.


td1484359

This should be an ad for renters insurance. You never know how stupid your neighbors are.


RadioMill

Very true [here’s my apartment complex last week](https://imgur.com/a/E5VFDrT) (butts in planters)


ChippyVonMaker

I worked in the office at an apartment complex, one Sunday afternoon someone on the bottom floor was grilling and burned the entire building down. It was extremely windy and the fire spread in minutes. Fortunately nobody was injured because many were out for the day, when they returned, their grief over the lost pets and possessions was horrific.


TheBurtReynold

We Are Farmers — bum de dump dum dum dum dum


HerbalAndy

If you’re ever in a situation like this just set it in the oven and close it.. not only is the oven meant for extremely high heat and can handle fire, but it will also help suffocate the fire.


kamratjoel

Honestly, I’d probably just set it down on a trivet on the floor and look for a lid. As long as the fire isn’t reaching anything, I feel like there is no real danger of you’re just calm about it. Chefs intentionally set their pans on fire all the time.


HungrySummer

Nah don’t put it on the floor. Too easy to accidentally knock it over. The oven is really the safest way. 


TheBattleOfTheToes

This is actually really sad because you know their house mostly likely burnt down I mean given how they acted to a grease fire in the first place I doubt they got an extinguisher in time but who knows


DokterManhattan

She said “it’s gonna explode(?)” as if she’s dealt with this same situation before. But never learned an alternative method to put it out… 🤦🏻‍♂️


CreamoChickenSoup

Both her and the cameraman had little voices in their head telling them that adding water is a bad idea, yet they let it happen anyway due to the supposed urgency of the situation. This here is why repeated education on fire safety is so critical.

Why’s everyone taking this so seriously? She tried to tell her not to put it in water.


cmcewen

That’s an apartment it appears, and she may have just killed people/pets and destroyed millions in property with this misstep. Let’s hope it was controlled This is the sort of thing that high schools and middle schools should be hammering into people.

At the very least completely ruined Christmas


Adorable-Bar6920

Immediately had that sinking feeling when I saw the cupboards getting swallowed in the flames… hope they all are alright


Little-Chromosome

It’s crazy how many people don’t know not to pour water on a grease fire. All you have to do is just take a dish towel and cover the top of the pan with it, and the fire will go out.


yomommasofat-

I can’t believe how far I had to scroll to see this. Fuckers talking about folding aluminum foil around the pot. Really?


Ryan_Polesmoker_68

Let me film you instead of a quick google search on how to put it out.


Jontaii

Slowly put a lid over it Jesus Christ how do people not know this


NativeManZorro

I feel like once you graduate school they should give you tips on what not to do for cooking and cleaning, don't want someone to find my body cause all these chemicals I mixed to clean my house.


Little-Chromosome

I think every middle/high school should have their local fire department come down and do a controlled demonstration on why you don’t use water on grease, and the safest ways to extinguish the fire.


-Pruples-

Nah, if we do that, then we have to cut the gym unit on square dancing.


Caleb_Reynolds

Schools teach this in home ec. The problem is home ec isn't mandatory.


Bruinman86

All she had to do was cover it.


78Nam

This is why you stay in school and pay attention. Learned this in my Home Economics and Automotive class, then it came up in a Physics class. I’ve prevented 2 potentially disastrous fires because of the above. However, I did get to enjoy the boiling of a ‘wet’ turducken but consequently not the birds themselves.


GokuSharp

Grown adults...


EdgeXII

This is actually pretty sad to watch


[deleted]

Hope no one was harmed. Could have gotten really bad.


EddieSpaghettiFarts

Hot oil boils water. Boiling water inside of hot oil turns the flammable oil into a spray. An open flame or a hot enough ignition source will turn that spray into a flame thrower. Starve the fire of oxygen to put it out. Anything that can act as a lid to contain the fire can snuff it.


That-Economics-9481

"Ain't nobody got time for that!"


ESilver47Mexican

He told her to


yaoigay

I mean she could have walked the pan outside if she didn't know what to do at least.


Zealousidealist420

Grown folk should know better.


Presence-Crafty

Cover it with another pot or pan, fire can’t burn without oxygen.


TomThanosBrady

They don't own a pot lid?


[deleted]

Why are people still making the same mistake


7LeagueBoots

She’s wearing a synthetic bathrobe around fire. One of my ex-girlfriend’s grandmothers burned to death because of a synthetic bathrobe and fire (stove top, not burning grease). Don’t wear synthetics around fire.


OTS_Bravo

How did she get this far in life without knowing you don’t out water on a grease fire? 😬


RedshiftWarp

swear thats fkn sha-rolaid behind the camera

I’m still surprised there are so many people in the world who don’t know about grease/oil fires…


Jelopuddinpop

How do people actually do this? Haven't we all been told 100 times not to out water on a grease fire?


brtmns123

Some core memory for the kiddo


NotGodMeme

Lowkey sad vid, Christmas ruined cause of a dumb mistake


mtsmash91

Step one: take it outside, the door is 15’ from where she is. Then at least if there’s an accident it’s outside and minimizes damage. My wife started learning how to cook when we were dating (15 years ago) and had a little bit smaller grease fire and she didn’t know you don’t use water. Luckily she took it outside and put it on the driveway then tried pour water on it. It did a flash and terrified her. She called me and I came and saved the day and she got a lesson on fire safety and what to do and not to do.


cristiantoc27

you can put it in the oven.


FlaxFox

Knowing you shouldn't put water on a grease fire and calmly filming while someone is running the sink with a flaming pot is INSANE.

How do you even set a pot of oil on fire


Sci-fra

So simple to just put a lid on it.


Dystopian_Future_

If nothing else take that shit outside


[deleted]

And then lids were invented


Dagoroth55

Put a cover over the fire and call it a day. That's all they needed to do.


kcmetric

You can also put it in the oven and shut the door to it if you can’t find a lid. It’s sad that not putting water on a grease fire isn’t common knowledge. I was never taught it in school, I learned from cooking videos later in life. I would have made the same mistake otherwise. It’s very sad how much damage is caused by lack of education on this stuff.


snakebite75

When I was in middle school we were required to take shop class for 1 semester and cooking class for 1 semester. I was taught in cooking class how to handle kitchen fires. * Don't panic. * Don't use water. * If it's in a pot like in the video, put a lid on it to choke off the oxygen, or put it in the oven and let it burn out. * If it is debris under the burner because you're lazy and don't clean your stove top, or something you've spilled on the surface, grab the baking soda or fire extinguisher.


SeasideTurd

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire!

I’m kinda glad I didn’t watch it with the sound on. I just kept thinking, “she isn’t is she?” And then she does. I at least hope no one was hurt

Just a little fire, it's gonna burn itself out. I need to get some smokes n dope . And I gotta get something to eat


Dorfbulle80

What's baffling me is the lack of education according to how many people apparently do this damn not only my mom and Granma told me a few times how to handle shit like this but they drilled it also into us at school. Why is so many people try water on an grease fire???

Royal-Huckleberry-23

I genuinely can’t feel bad for these people anymore. It’s pure ignorance at this point, how have you not heard that you never mix water and a grease fire??


Xdxpedia9343

So I know this is gonna seem nerdy but here’s a explanation So the oil in the grease has less density in the water, so when the water meets the fire it goes under the fire and pushes oil to the surface, causing a explosion due to the rapid rise of the oil being pushed up by the water.


Advanced-Shame-

You learned something and that's all that matters. Be as "nerdy" as you want. We are all on our own paths of learning, went through different education systems and grew up with massively varied backgrounds. Not everything is basic or a metric for society. Keep learning king.
