It goes even further than that. Oil burns in liquid form at up to 600°C, while water flashfries at those temperatures into steam. Steam, being extremely hot, tiny molecules rip apart the viscous oil molecules, thus increasing the oils' surface area exponentially while still retaining most of the temperature. This gives the oil a much greater exposure to the oxygen in the air, increasing the re-dox reaction of the flame exponentially. Meaning, it billows up, over and out, while still burning. This creates an updraft which helps the oil continue being drawn upwards, increasing the temperature and the burning over a HUGE space. It's effectively a double whammy.

Funily enough this event is called a boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion (BLEVE). Which I like to think you better BLEVE you're going to need to regrow your eyebrows after you cause one.

My neighbor ( I was a teenager in the early 70s), started a grease fire in her kitchen across the street. As a teen farm girl I was well aware of grease fires. I calmly walked into her kitchen while she was freaking out, grabbed a towel and walked the cast iron fry pan outside set it in the grass and went back in and jerked the curtains down and dragged them outside. Then the fire department came and offered me a job (jk). They were happy I was quick witted. I told the lady salt, baking soda or a lid was a good option for grease fires. Edit: When a motorist told me my semi was on fire I calmly turned off the batteries, dragged my fire extinguisher out of its holder went to the front of my day cab looked for the fire (saw it was the starter) and put out the fire. This was my years of school bus driver training taking over. I did it without thought. Training training training. Fire Department came gave me a high five and went on their way.

Lol, love the end, years of training indeed. Reminds me of a story. I went to visit my mom once, and her roommate was cleaning up a mess on the kitchen floor. He told me he had been cooking, and the oil in the frying pan caught fire. He picked it up, and panicking, tried to dump it in the sink. He dropped it on the way, and it flipped upside down, and put itself out when it hit the floor. All I could think to say was 'hey, whatever works man!'

I saw this video when it first came out and shortly thereafter made the dumb decision to preheat an oiled pot while cutting the meat. It took longer than I expected to cut the meat, but when the oil caught fire I didn’t hesitate or panic but knew to just put the lid on the pot. All the apartment needed was to get aired out. I just noticed this video and realized I needed to say Thank you!

This is why I love having a fire-chief as an uncle. On my cousin's birthday at the ripe old age of 12, he threw a "fire-safety-party" and had fun educating all the kids on how to handle fire. Man lit a barrel of oil on fire and gave us a 3m pole with a saucepan taped to the end and let us have a live demonstration of how to extinguish greese fires and what happens when you're an idiot. It was fun, awesome, terrifying and I will be doing the same exact thing in the future (with representatives from the local department for safety) Saying water expands by a factor of 1600 when turning to steam is one thing, seeing a cup of water turn into a fire-ball the size of your mum is quite a bit more memorable.

Thanks for this comment. I hadn't been taught how to deal with a grease fire before (just that you don't add water to a grease fire) and was thinking that I don't have lids for any of my frying pans and my pots have mostly glass lids (which is not good for fire suppression). I do have a few baking sheets and a pizza pan that certainly will work in this case. We think that it *should* be fairly intuitive, but it's not when no one has taught you. And during an emergency situation, when one is panicking, it's not the time to work out how to do something you haven't been taught. Some will be lucky or clever enough and get it right, but most will hesitate and do something wrong, and in a situation like this, wrong can kill you. The best way is to learn it ahead of time and hope that you will remember it when you need it. A memorable demonstration is extremely helpful and preferable to first hand experience, which is the most effective teacher.

I caught myself with my foot, the doorframe and what was left of the door but i was still hanging all the way out with my butt just above the ground. Anyway, I didn't once panic all I did was say "yo" in a calm voice to get their attention like i was just wanting to say something and Not one of the passengers even looked in my direction 😆, I set it again and still no response So with a still calm voice I said "hey guys i need a hand" (Still Not even addressing that I am halfway outside the vehicle) After that the other rear passenger looked over and saw And he is the one that freaked out for me And told the driver to stop so I could Get back in the vehicle and fix myself.

I learned this at a very young age. About 10 years before I was born, my dad, who was a young newlywed at the time, tried to put out a small grease fire. He didn't use water, and he tried to snuff the fire out, so he was right in that regard. However, he was in a bit of a panic, which was perfectly understandable since my mom, who was pregnant with my older sister, was there. He was wearing just a T-shirt and boxer shorts since it was morning he had just gotten up. A lid wasn't readily available, and in the panic, he grabbed a dish towel to snuff out the fire. Grease got on the towel and caught it on fire he dropped it, and the hot grease towel stuck to his leg. The fire finally got extinguished, but dad had multiple 2nd degree burns, and the scarring is still all over my dad's leg and foot. By the time I was born, there was always a lid and baking soda by the stove , and my sisters and I had been taught this lifesaving piece of advice via my parents' experience and my dad's scar tissue.

Hey buddy, take a look for a fire blanket. They are a glass fibre "cloth" that you can drape over things that are on fire to make them less on fire. Things being pots/pans and in some cases people. Another advantage of them is that you can hold them up as a shield to protect yourself while you drape it over the burning thing which can be an issue if the pan really gets going. They are pretty cheap and last forever (until used at least)

My mom already knew exactly how to put out grease fires at an early age. Not sure if she learned it working in a cafeteria, her parents, friends, or what. But she taught me to never use water on grease fires. I think she used baking soda one time when putting out a fire on a stove since it was the quickest, closest thing. But yeah, never had to use this knowledge but good to know. I love these videos. Comedic and teaching good lessons.

Thats why i am glad I was in the Navy where they constantly trained us how to put out oil and gas related fires that water most certainly can’t put out. You have to take out at least one of the three components of a fire. Heat, Oxygen and fuel. And because the fuel of oil and gas fires is a liquid in many cases, water will only spread the fire and introduce more of the fuel to the fire as the water kicks up for flammable liquid. So you have to smother it or somehow take the heat out of the factor. We used AFFF in the Navy for exterior fires and a halon system for interior fires. A Halon system saps all the oxygen (and sometimes the heat) out of an area and the AFFF (aqueous film forming foam) smothers it to accomplish the same goal of taking oxygen out of the equation.

Many industry friers even have a cover specifically for fire. They can be found either as a pullout at the back end or as a slide-in that should be kept nearby. The problem, as our fire expert here has pointed out, training often doesn't go into fire control beyond "there's an extinguisher here somewhere" and I've met long-time managers of restaurants who also believe water always beats fire or, that you just let it burn itself out.

Honestly, when it comes to oil fires, letting it burn itself out is probably a better option than putting water on it. At least if it just burns, it's under a hood and might not spread too far. If you put water on it, it WILL spread all over the place.

Recently saw a video of a girl doing a livestream from her kitchen while cooking. The pan started on fire, and she panicked. She started going “I don’t know what to do!” And then she picked up the flaming pan and put it in the sink and ran water on it, and made it worse.

In emergency situations the amygdala response in your brain (fight or flight response) can inhibit your ability to consciously think (prefrontal cortex). So putting water on a grease fire can actually happen to anyone, because the knowledge "don't put water on grease fire" might not be accessible in a state of panic. Our brains are wired to "act fast, think less" in these situations.

When I was in elementary school, a guest came to my classroom to showcase various hazards. I don't recall if they were a local firefighter, someone's dad, or just the chemistry teacher, but they taught me useful stuff that I still remember to this day. Including the content in this video.

Back when I worked at Mcdonald's on our first day we were taught how to deal with grease fire by putting on the lid, cutting the heat (electricity) of a frying pan. The most important things were that if we didn't know what to do, inform the shift manager (which would probably notice if things caught on fire to begin with) and stay away from the fire. In some cases it is better not to do something than to do something stupid...

I put one out in a restaurant. I heard the kitchen yell and then heard the sound. I ran over and yelled *NO WATER. TRUST ME* we used a bucket of seasoning salt and a big ass bowl on top of it.

Had a fire on our kitchen stove one time. Wife started yelling. I walked over, assessed the situation and calmly turn off the burner. Situation resolved.

First grease fire I ever had, I heard a small *foom* noise. I turned around and saw the grease trap was on fire. I definitely stared at it for a few seconds... Then I fished out a big lid and smothered it. I stared at it the second time it happened too. Just... Mildly confused as to why my kitchen was suddenly on fire

Late to the party. As someone who's always worked in cooking retail, but moved from business to business, I can say they do half of what you expect. You are taught what things do, where they are, what and what not to use. You are then told not to do any of these things, and to leave the building instead. Essentially, always provided the information needed to prevent and subdue a fire, but told to never do it. Some of it will be health and safety, some of it will be insurance-based… Like if you've had training that told you to put out the fire, but you die, there's likely a lawsuit there. And if the fire engulfs the building, there's likely fire insurance to cover it. This is in Scotland though, I obviously can't say the same for the country/state this film is located in, and it does look as if they haven't been trained for this (or ignored training).

Recently found your channel (from your shorts), and this is a genuinely great channel. When I was in the Navy, we went through a lot of fire safety and firefighting training during boot camp as well as regular drills aboard ship, as a fire on a ship can very quickly go from dangerous to catastrophic. One of the things that the chiefs would bang on about during every drill or training session was quickly identifying what type of fire you're dealing with and cutting out at least one of the fuel source, the heat source, or the oxygen supply.

100x more important today too since with things like electric vehicle battery fires you cant just treat them like a normal gas fire. On ships thats super important too since there are so many electric fires. My dad was an electrician on board an aircraft carrier and to this day he's thankful he didnt end up on the USS Enterprise like the Navy originally planned, he said they had tons of electrical fires to put out and each time that meant an electrician making repairs as well as constant reports on why the fire happened to hopefully prevent them. All the chemicals on board also must be fun, especially back in the days where the ships were stuffed with asbestos.

Not only one but two people didn’t know what to do in this situation. Situational awareness is important at all times in life.

Worked for chick-fil-a for 13 years. put out almost a dozen grease fires. open fryers are bit more of a hassle, but pressure fires are easiest, and i still had people just stare at it in disbelief. i always quizzed my guys on putting out fires and where extinguishers were. never had to use the Ansul system fortunately.

what did he do??

There was a fire safety training at my workplace, and I recalled the demonstration of "what happens if you pour water into a grease fire". The resulting fireball burnt a small tree branch which was about 10 metres above ground. If you are desperate, a damp towel would do as well, but you have to make sure that it is not dripping.

A few helpful hints: 1. In general, fires require oxygen, a heat source, and a fuel. 2. The CORRECT way of extinguishing a fire is to REMOVE at least one of these components, not add anything. 3. For electrical fires, try to turn off the source of electricity. For grease fires, cover the fire with a nonflammable lid. For campfire/wood fires, dousing the flames with water is helpful, but a fire extinguisher is your safest bet just in case there are exposed live wires/oil. 4. Only try and handle SMALL fires on your own. If the flames are spreading too quickly or the fire is too large, CALL the fire department.

having worked in kitchens for well over a decade, I've seen some nasty once that were lack of training related, When I was actually in a semi management position (sous chef) I was doing the training and the restaurant owners were our worst enemy. If we were to have a fire that we used an extinguisher due to local ordinances we had to have the fire marshal come and inspect the area, and have the effected area of the kitchen professionally cleaned to make sure all of the fire retardant would be gone so it couldn't contaminate food. Even worse their policy was "If the overheads ever go off, you're all losing your jobs." I get it, it's costly to clean up, it's down time to have the fire marshal come out and inspect. It's costly to have the system reset. However, those overheads are the last line of defense if a fire gets nasty, and it can happen damn fast if say... you're not supposed to use the extinguishers...... half the time the people running the show are part of the problem. My instruction to any of them I trained was dependent on what was on fire. Flattop? turn the heat off, salt it. Charbroiler? turn the heat off, salt it, if a fist full of salt isn't doing it... you'd be amazed how fast it goes out with milk of all thing. Fryers? Type K extinguisher. I have zero concern for what upper management wants. Most kitchen fires in non fast food kitchens.. well they are pretty frequent, they are small, quickly and calmly handled, and the day moves on. fires in a fryer or other cooking where there's a lot of oil. Yeah, doesn't matter if we have to shut down for the night, it's better than having the whole place burn. Also I should mention, the above fires mentioned (flat top, charbroiler etc) if the fire is large, or spreads rapidly skip all the small solutions, and again. straight to a fire extinguisher. There's a reason commercial kitchens in the US are required to have them on hand by law, same law also mandates regular inspections of them so when we do need them, they will work.

Okay, time for my fire story. It was the summer before my senior year of college, and I decided to take the summer semester cell bio class. We'd been working on counting and plating cells under sterile protocol (read: bunson burner) all week and since it was a senior level class, we actually took it seriously and were generally responsible. Our professor nipped upstairs briefly to check on an experiment he was running and left the TA to keep an eye on us. I come back from the microscope closet where I was counting cells to hear an alarmed *"Uhhh..."* from my lab partner. She's staring at our sterile fume hood, where the PET plastic sample tray had gotten too close to the flame and caught fire. It was melting while burning very cheerfully. We stared at it a moment. She switched off the burner. I carefully reached in and moved the rest of the flammable stuff away from the flame. We called the TA over and he joined us in staring at the flame. We all knew water was a bad idea...but what were we supposed to do instead?? Naturally, this is when we discovered the teacher was gone. We stared at it another moment - half the plastic stand was consumed now - and then the TA got the fire extinguisher. It put the fire out! It also got melted plastic & fire extinguisher foam all over the $4000 fume hood. And this is how I learned you should smother a grease or plastic fire with a lid, beaker, or something else FIRST of you can, and reach for the fire extinguisher SECOND

Honestly water probably would have been OK. It's only when you have significant quantities of liquid (or loose powder if you wanna get spicy) that you're going to get a steam explosion like this. Burning a plastic tray isn't going to have a large liquid volume. A thing you can do if you're stuck and water is your only option btw is *mist* the water, if the water boils/evaporates before it hits the burning liquid it won't do the big flame ball trick. but will still take the heat and some of the air out of the fire triangle By mist I really do mean mist btw, not droplets or sprinkling water etc. But file that under Plan-C.

Why call them dumb if they simply don't know? That's ignorance, something we are all born with and have in subjects we don't encounter often or aren't familiar with. Stupidity would be assumption or attempting to do something without knowledge on it, and therefore making the situation worse.

For food service workers, if your place is properly equipped you should also have a Class K fire extinguisher (or hood system above the grease frier). As the video indicated water is BAD for a grease fire and using a normal extinguisher will just spread that beautiful beautiful burning grease, even more, so using the right extinguisher is crucial...also be aware of how your hood system operates, it's easy to assume it will kick on automatically but many may require you to pull a switch mounted somewhere nearby in order to activate it (we had this happen at a kitchen around where I work cause everyone including the chef assumed it was automatic until inspector indicated that wasn't the case). Oh for a bonus round, even if grease isn't burning if it's HOT treat that sh*t like uranium cause if that spills on you or someone else during the process of moving it no amount of plastic surgery will probably be able to undo the damage it can do...if you want to be scared straight just look on youtube, there are videos that will disturbingly drive home the danger and damage of hot grease. Always use proper PPE, and always announce where you're moving if you're in a busy kitchen and moving behind someone.

Okay, I'm going to play devil's advocate here. Yes, I am a fireman, but I used to run a kitchen. Looks like these people were cleaning the fryer and didn't shut off the burner when they drained the oil. You usually realize it pretty quickly cause of the smoke but I guess they didn't. In my kitchen, I totally did the same thing but I caught it immediately and dumped a bucket of water in that I had ready for cleaning anyway. Looks like a couple of unsupervised teens that have never had to work with the fryer alone.

@@0neMadGypsy Unlucky for them humans aren't made out of metal, like who gives a shit about cleaning the kitchen (you do that anyway everyday, if you work in a place that takes health and safety standards seriously) Kitchens are literally made to be easily deep cleaned, tiles and metal. It's a hose and scrubbing, not that big of a deal. What is a big deal however, is pouring water into burning grease, which is going to react by exploding in the direction of your face, which is flammable, and grease/oil loooves to stick to skin, even if it's burning. His biggest concern is the fire, regardless of how inconsequential you seem to think it is, because that little baby waby fire is burning on top of a few liters of oil. Also, who on earth works in a kitchen that doesn't clean it everyday? Do you know how much of a safety risk build up grease is? Especially in an environment where you might have open flames, and plenty of things that can ignite grease. Not to mention health risks of operating a dirty commercial kitchen, shameful. "little pan fire" ah yes, a 4 liter deep frier with flaming oil = "little pan fire"

At one time, I worked for a fire investigator; he worked for insurance companies. After awhile, I asked him and his wife, "how do you burn something down to make it look like an accident"? He replied, "make it look like you were cooking something and it caught fire and got out of control". He also added, "you have to let all your shit burn....a cooking fire in an empty house immediately looks suspicious". 😉😎

My mom taught me this brilliant and incredibly advanced technique when I was ten.

I've been practicing these steps to put out grease fires for 6 years now. I'm almost ready to try it for real.

You know, I think the most important lesson is honestly the "call 911" part, because it applies in general. Even if you do manage to put out the fire yourself, it won't hurt to already have a dispatcher on the phone, because if things go bad, you want the fire department to react as quickly as possible. Sure, there is the potential chance that you don't end up needing help, and you will have taken time away from a dispatcher who may potentially have gotten a different call at that time that nobody else was available to answer. But unlike with a prank call, you didn't waste that time for nothing, because it was equally as possible that you would have needed help, and it that case waiting would have taken valuable time away from yourself. Also, the dispatcher can advise you, for example screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" when you tell him you are going to pour a bucket of water into a burning deep fryer. Ideally, when you have two people as in the video, one of them tries to put out the fire while the other one calls 911. This way, you make sure you aren't wasting time no matter how the situation pans out.

Okay... SO on most "human sized" fires, it's all well and good to get it put out by any means necessary... BUT for dubiously large blazes, do you know how to conduct a proper "overhaul" of the scene after the flames are out??? Do you have appropriate equipment (like a Flir device) to help seek out hot-spots??? What about a proper "overhaul rake" at the very least??? Might be able to lick the fire initially, but there's a point where you should probably just go ahead and have the guys roll out and get through that tedious part of making sure you're not suffering a false sense of security and about to deal with a flash-over. ;o)

Yep. If the confused workers had called 9-1-1 immediately, they would have been told to smother it or use a fire extinguisher, and to absolutely not put water on it. Being that they stood around for about a minute before dumping water on it, they had plenty of time for the call. The fire wasn't getting bigger until water was thrown on it.

I've always known not to put water on a grease fire, but I never knew why it makes the fire worse. Thanks for the explanation!

I knew from being told that "if it's a grease fire, pouring water on it won't extinguish it, you need to smother it instead" so I knew to use pan lids or something like a dish towel THANK GOODNESS. I think I may have had one grease fire try to start on me once and I got it out quick because of that I'm not sure? but But I didn't know the physics behind it. The fact that oil boils/burns at a higher temp than water... this means you also shouldn't say, wet the towel first and it down with your bare hand since that's just gonna steam burn you right?? I mean either way it's not intuitive but knowing the physics... and seeing them illustrated with the video of what happens when you DO try to pour water on it.... I'm. Really glad I knew to smother them😅 and extremely appreciative of this video!

I remember my dad teaching me this when I was younger. Was a volunteer Firefighter. And also has a phone book sized binder of firefighting certifications. Also was one in the Air Force. And was an Adjunct Professor at the Spokane Fire Academy when he was stationed there. My guy knows how to put the fire out on the damn Space Shuttle. So yeah I learned from the best lol

I learned this and fire safety as a child in the 80s. There was a real push in the early grades at that time for kids safety education for Fire, Poison & Strangers. I'm amazed at how many people don't even know the basics of stop drop and roll, or cover & smother flame.

Hmmm. Yes this is just what happened in a bar in my downtown. Took out everybody in the building. Worst part of all was we didn't have a Domino's Pizza for a year while they moved to a new location. Don't the fryers have a built in lid to slam down over such a fire? I don't know. Love the videos especially the Narcan one! -Jon

Years ago I was helping my sister set up for a family dinner. She'd decided to do a fondue, and she spilled a bit filling the reservoir on the alcohol heater, soaking the tablecloth. When she lit the heater the tablecloth lit, and the flames began to spread quickly. I just grabbed a dish towel and dropped it over the flames. The fire was no big deal because I dealt with it quickly. She had a fire extinguisher, somewhere, but I had no idea where. (Which is why my fire extinguishers are always mounted in the open, not hidden in a cabinet.) The towel was faster and cleaner. Years later, when I discovered that there are now purpose-built fire blankets on the market, I bought enough to mount one on the wall everyplace a fire was likely. So now I have both a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket on the wall of my kitchen. Neither of which I've ever needed to use.

Once, in my youth, I started a grease fire (oil left in a pan on the stove). I knew water was bad but blanked on what to do, so I opened the patio door and yeeted the pot into a snowbank. I see now that putting a lid on would have worked better.

We just bought the correct fire extinguisher. It hangs opposite the stove. But I also learned to use one at work so there is that.

In the late 1970s, the company I worked for would use the extinguishers that were due for service as training tools. The people who worked in areas that create fire risks (some chemicals, heat/flame, power tools) and all the loading-dock and delivery-driver staff got training and live practice. The metal trough of fuel really teaches people where they have to aim - most people naturally aim too high. I only got to use a Class D one time, and I *do not* want to ever deal with a metal fire, even if I have the right extinguisher. Later, as a college Resident Assistant, we got similar training. The trainer thought _he_ had done something wrong when I put out the trough-of-fuel in under 2 seconds, and he had me do it again. Even later, my girlfriend thought I was just obsessive about having fire extinguishers available - until her grandpa spilled some gas on himself and a hot 2-stroke engine while helping her refuel it...creating a fire. They were within 10 feet of a foam extinguisher that worked on grandpa's arms, the string trimmer, the gas can and the ground.

At 1:16 you can see a red canister on the wall in the top right corner of the screen. That is a fire suppression system. Its whole job and purpose is to put out fires!

I remember when I was a student, working in fast food too. We were never told these simple steps to put out grease fires. Of course I learned it later, also on television, Dutch firefighters showed what water would do and the precautions they took should already send a warning. They literally handled the cup of water with a ten feet pole. The guy in this video adding that water to the burning grease must have had some burn marks on his clothes, I hope he didn't get burned himself. Why not do what Ryanair does well (in this example)? Simply put firefighting instructions in big, colourful stickers on each deep fryer. And regular control to make sure the stickers remain clear and if not, replace them. 1. turn off heat; 2. put on the lid; 3. call the fire department; In that order.

I always kinda assumed glass lids would be a bad idea lol. Good to know those work as well.

Imagine the 911 call they would've made "Ummmm..... There's a fire. What do?" Would be the most weirdly chill call ever
