Put a Lid on Grease Fires! Submitted by Charles Peterson, SCI Fire & Rescue Deputy Chief
Unattended cooking continues to be the number one cause of residential fires in the United States. Moreover, cooking fires are the leading cause of fire injuries by far. Of these, grease fires are the most common and are preventable. The most important thing for you to do is stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you have to leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stovetop.
Cooking oil is hot—much hotter than water—and can catch fire without warning. Be ready! Always have a pan lid near when you cook with oil or greasy foods like bacon.
• If a fire starts in a pan, don’t panic!
• Put the pan lid or baking sheet onto the top of the burning pan.
• Turn the burner off.
• Never pick up the pan and move it! Grease can splash out start a bigger fire and burn you.
• Never use water to put the fire out! Water will cause the fire to flash out of the pan and spread the fire.
• Never leave a pan of oil or greasy foods alone. It takes just moments for a fire to erupt.
Remember, you have the solution to putting out a grease fire right in your own hands—the pan lid. It cuts the supply of oxygen that feeds the flames and puts the fire out. Whenever you’re cooking with grease, always keep a pan lid on the counter next to you where it will be handy.
A fire extinguisher in the kitchen is also a good idea. When using a fire extinguisher follow the “PASS” method. Pull the pin – Aim at the base of the fire – Squeeze the handle – use a Sweep motion. Moreover, if the fire is too big or you do not feel comfortable using a fire extinguisher, evacuate the house and call 9-1-1.
If you are burned:
• Stop, drop and roll slowly to put out the fire on your clothes.
• Cool the burn with cool water, never ice. Cool water lowers the skin temperature, stops the burning, helps numb the pain and reduces swelling.
• Take off hot, greasy clothing quickly.
• Cover the burn. After cooling the burn with water, cover it with a clean, dry dressing, like a cloth or bandage.
• Don’t use ointments, sprays, butter, or toothpaste—only cool water.
• Get medical help. Don’t underestimate how serious a burn can be.
