Hi , my name is chuck gibbs . I'm the

00:07.951 --> 00:10.007
Fort wainwright Fire Department fire

00:10.007 --> 00:12.173
chief . Today , we're going to discuss

00:12.173 --> 00:14.340
a little bit of home safety and safety

00:14.340 --> 00:16.173
of cooking in the kitchen in the

00:16.173 --> 00:17.951
following video and information

00:17.951 --> 00:20.007
provided you're gonna see what to do

00:20.007 --> 00:22.062
and what not to do in the event of a

00:22.062 --> 00:24.062
fire or an emergency in your home .

00:24.062 --> 00:25.784
According to the National Fire

00:25.784 --> 00:27.951
Prevention Association , 44% or almost

00:27.951 --> 00:30.062
half of all reported home fires start

00:30.062 --> 00:33.040
in the kitchen with two thirds or 66% ,

00:33.050 --> 00:35.610
starting with the ignition of food or

00:35.610 --> 00:38.120
other cooking materials . As you watch

00:38.120 --> 00:40.287
the video , you'll notice that it only

00:40.287 --> 00:42.398
takes a few minutes for an unattended

00:42.398 --> 00:44.453
frying pan with hot oil to reach its

00:44.453 --> 00:46.620
point where it becomes flammable . The

00:46.620 --> 00:48.731
quickest way to extinguish the grease

00:48.731 --> 00:50.731
fires to have a lid that covers the

00:50.731 --> 00:52.676
entire surface of the frying pan .

00:52.676 --> 00:54.898
Always keep an oven meant and a pan lid

00:54.898 --> 00:56.620
nearby . When cooking . If you

00:56.620 --> 00:58.842
experience grease fires , slide the lid

00:58.842 --> 01:00.898
over the pan to smother the flames ,

01:00.898 --> 01:03.009
turn off the burner and leave the pan

01:03.009 --> 01:04.620
covered to completely cool .

01:04.620 --> 01:06.842
Immediately turn off the stove and move

01:06.842 --> 01:08.953
the skillet off the direct heat . The

01:08.953 --> 01:10.953
next example is what not to do when

01:10.953 --> 01:12.953
attempting to put out a grease fire

01:12.953 --> 01:14.787
here , water was used instead of

01:14.787 --> 01:16.787
covering with a lid . When water is

01:16.787 --> 01:18.898
mixed with hot grease . Not only does

01:18.898 --> 01:21.009
the water push hot flaming Greece out

01:21.009 --> 01:22.842
of the pan , but it also creates

01:22.842 --> 01:24.953
rapidly expanding steam , which those

01:24.953 --> 01:26.842
grease into the air , creating an

01:26.842 --> 01:29.310
airborne fireball , never leave cooking

01:29.310 --> 01:31.421
food unattended , stay in the kitchen

01:31.421 --> 01:33.310
while you're frying , grilling or

01:33.310 --> 01:35.477
broiling . If you have to leave , turn

01:35.477 --> 01:37.254
off the stove . If you have any

01:37.254 --> 01:39.310
questions , please don't hesitate to
