This is going to be more of a life pro tip, but trying to reach the largest audience here.
Just had a frantic neighbour knocking at my door saying there is a fire in her oven.
I was over there in under 60 seconds with the fire extinguisher. There was a pot of oil on fire wedged between the element and the rack. No way to quickly and safely remove it, so I blasted it.
If I had tried to remove the pan, it’s likely it would have ended up spilling burning oil everywhere and making the situation much worse. Now they just have a house full of dust to clean.
Will replace our extinguisher today and am considering buying a few more to gift this Christmas.
One in the car (it’s a hybrid full of ‘splody batteries). One in the office. One larger one in the kitchen along with a pan fire thing. A big extinguisher on the middle landing in the house.
All those ‘fireXO’ ones suitable for any fire type… not that I’ve tested that yet. Thankfully.
