I have a camera in the far corner of my living room pointed at the front door to record any intruders who are thinking of sitting on the sofa and watching TV.
It should be a standard rule of culture that you’re not allowed to cook until you understand what happens when trying to put out a grease fire with water.
We need to make elementary school 9am-5pm and spend the additional two or three hours teaching survival skills. "Keep a LID nearby and cover the fire to smother it. Also baking soda, a towel for very small fires, and an extinguisher." Pffft that alone would take one minute.
Oh yeah. I'd never use a fire extinguisher for something like this, I'd just grab a lid or a plate or a baking tray or some shit and smother it. But ... unlike many people, I'm not someone who panics when something catches fire. I can pretty calmly quickly evaluate my options and do whatever's most sensible based on the situation.
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be a common quality, and for J Random Person, "fire means fire extinguisher" is a good, easy thing to train into them when there's an ABC extinguisher on hand.
A firefighter taught this in a lecture at my school when I was a child.
A while later, when I was about 10 years old, my cousin forgot the oil on the stove until it caught fire. She ran to get water, but I remembered what the firefighter had said, I simply covered the pan, and problem solved. Well, except for the smell, which took a few hours to disappear.
Instruction saves lives. That's why I think we can't protect children from everything, as if they lived in a rainbow world. They need to know what to do in this type of situation, and that can be the difference between life and death.
Growing up I was never taught how to cook, and we hardly ever cooked in oil for health reasons. I, myself, have never cooked in oil beyond like, PAM. I didn't learn about this kind of thing until I saw it on the Internet.
Yeah. My mom did a good job teaching me how to operate basic kitchen appliances like a gas stove etc. And what to do if something goes bad. How to operate and handle basic kitchen and household appliances are essential life skills.
One of them is wearing a Christian jumper. This is where the poor education comes from - too long studying illiterate goat herder ghost stories, not enough time studying actual reality
They probably would have run outside and called the fire brigade, claiming "Our entire kitchen is on fire" in a panic, only for the fire marshal to show up and laugh his ass off.
i love it when people totally overreact and the scene they flee from instantly calms down. Really pulls the whole comedic situation together in a neat little bow.
I'm always reminded of a scene in Gone in 60 Seconds (with Nicholas Cage) when I see these videos. Cool, calm, collected, and conveniently something to snuff the flame nearby that ISN'T water.
I always thought it was common knowledge not to put water in a grease fire.. I was taught in school & later on reminded by my mother. Is it not taught in all schools?

Does this explain the post? If not, please report and a moderator will review.
I saw a video of a kitchen fire that was so bad I felt compelled to purchase a bunch of fire blankets. Now we have them set up in a few places around the kitchen and house.
Pour lots of salt over it or take a large metal pan or even a baking sheet and put that over the flames and (fingers crossed) all should be good in the world
The number of people who still put water on a grease fire in today's world with the thousands of videos out there showing this exact thing happening is troubling
I just took this 911 call yesterday morning, except the caller claimed they threw the equivalent of a 5lb bag of flour on it and it didn't help......they kept saying I'm out of flour, what do I do?
Get. Out. Now.
I think they should’ve smothered the fire with a pot. I started a similarly sized fire one time on accident (the size of the fire was the same before they poured water on it) and was able to contain it by covering it with a pot.
Water on a kitchen fire is a bad idea because if the fire is caused by oil then water will make the fire bigger.
Also the way that chick flipped over the counter cracked me up
For a generation that sees thousands of tik toks and videos and have access to endless information, but they don't know what to do when a simple accident happens and the solution is running away..
Always have a fitted lid nearby you can calmly and quickly put over an excessively flaring pan if you're cooking with oil or alcohol. And turn off the heat.
We all know not to do this, and they probably knew not to do it, but panic really fucks with your head, you can know all the rules but if you can't control your panic reaction your screwed
Is this one of those videos set up to show you everything NOT to do?
they looked like cats when they got scared haha
lol, so true. Reminds me a bit of this video: https://youtu.be/VeFMdVIFsgs
This is hilarious.
My other favorite one is https://youtu.be/kNgHMQqapuk?si=AUl7vCCiOk8dxstR 🤣
I find it odd they have a camera in their living room.
I have a camera in the far corner of my living room pointed at the front door to record any intruders who are thinking of sitting on the sofa and watching TV.
Parents had set it up to find out what is causing the burns on the ceiling.
I too have a camera in my living room. I have a very naughty cat.
Since we're here, this was the first one that came to my mind. 😂
https://youtu.be/O9M2RfXrcQY?si=R3nIZBaMhw-0Hu8g
He's got that Scooby laugh going on 😆
Ha, yep, another classic. Hilarious.
OMG! I had exactly the same thought! 🤣
It always makes me laugh at the 0:13 mark those two cats start fighting.
Ha....time to FREAK OUT
That is the Exact video I knew it would be. Well played i applaud you
lol. 🫡
I'm so glad it was this video and not a Rick roll
A cat would have landed on its feet.
/r/catburnouts
Than you so much!
White shirt never moved so fast in her life
kitchen fire 101: do literally anything except what they did
I'm sorry, but the girl falling over the chair is hilarious.
I forgive you
It has been said that the best way to put out a fire is to do parkour on your kitchen table.
Well it worked!
Did it though? The fire was still burning. Maybe should she have continued the parkour.
I mean.. it kinda stoped after she got over the table. Maybe another jump would have stopped it completely
Oh yeah, I missed it.
At least they stayed calm.
What happened to the dog? 😱🫣
Proberly nothing, it seemed to be well not as not-clever as the other two.
Probably*
(In case you were sitting there thinking "how the fuck do you spell probably again?!")
I kinda like proberly, like when it's almost probable but not quite
I like their spelling. Kinda matches with the girls in the video.
[removed]
😂
"Fuck this shit im OUTTA here"
Hotdog?
It should be a standard rule of culture that you’re not allowed to cook until you understand what happens when trying to put out a grease fire with water.
Not quite the same level but why do people think they can use a saw made for wood to cut metal.
Faith over Fear!
Faith over fear
Saw that. Means a family of Covid deniers as well? Seems to track.
Like a room full of cats
People, NEVER pour water into hot cooking oil, NEVER.
Info the girls could have used before they started cooking......
But..... who doesnt know that?!?
Or do we need some more of the old school PSAs folk mock?!?
My local news station does the usual demonstration every year, then they share the stories of all the fires.
It's like the airplane safety demos. Everyone rolls their eyes then proceeds to not put on the oxygen mask properly.
I learned it the hard way myself at like 18. If they did tell us in school, it was not nearly as reinforced as it probably could have been.
You have to be pretty fucking stupid to make it to that age and not know that you’re not supposed to dump water on a grease fire.
Na kids just don't learn anything these days
You're underestimating how stupid people have gotten these days.
If only 0.1% of the population is that stupid we have 8.3 million people to worry about, and I'm sure the percentage is much higher.
That term “lowest common denominator” certainly applies. 😞
I was literally telling my 8 year old this now she’s into cooking everything obviously closely supervised.
We need to make elementary school 9am-5pm and spend the additional two or three hours teaching survival skills. "Keep a LID nearby and cover the fire to smother it. Also baking soda, a towel for very small fires, and an extinguisher." Pffft that alone would take one minute.
This is one of the reasons that I tend to give a fire extinguisher as a housewarming present. Almost no one I know actually has one by default.
I’m doing them as stocking stuffers. “Boring, Mom!” Whatever. I can’t put skin grafts in your stocking so this is what you get.
"When I saw this, I thought of you, and how I didn't want you to burn to death."
I’m so fucking weird, the kids wouldn’t be shocked if I started saying shit like this.
I mean the sentiment seems perfectly normal to me too, but I'm also a weird fucker, lol.
Or in this case, a simple cover to the pot!
I agree about the fire extinguisher, I have 2
Oh yeah. I'd never use a fire extinguisher for something like this, I'd just grab a lid or a plate or a baking tray or some shit and smother it. But ... unlike many people, I'm not someone who panics when something catches fire. I can pretty calmly quickly evaluate my options and do whatever's most sensible based on the situation.

That is so true, so many people panic in dangerous situations and make things so much worse.
Baking soda is bad advice. You need a lot of it for it to even work, and odds are someone will accidentally use baking powder or, god forbid, flour.
How many packets will I need? 🤔
Like 200 or 400
But throwing an ice cube into the fry station your buddy is working is so fun
And this is a reminder to me to remind my kid of this fact.
But what if you want to set your ceiling on fire?
They just fucking ran?!
Yah they were like we gave it our best effort but this house is a goner. Sorry mom and dad we tried everything we could think of to save it but…
The fire looked like it more or less went out by itself. Their running away rather than trying to put it out probably saved the house.
Haha good point
i noticed it too, they probably saved the house by not attempting to put it out even more lmao
😂😂
This is why once a year I give my son a pop quiz on where the extinguisher is
Make sure he knows where the pan lids are as well, literally all that was needed in this situation
Tbf doing nothing worked way better than them actively fucking it up further.
I love that she's wearing a FAITH OVER FEAR hoodie
It’s not a hoodie, it’s a lifestyle!
Not hers though 😂
䷎䷳ ䷎䷳ ䷎䷳ ䷎䷳ ䷎䷳ ䷎䷳
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
the girl in white is a darwin award nominee
Faith over fear
Looks like fear won
Thoughts and prayers about your grease fire
I’ll take a fire extinguisher over both
Running separate ways is suspicious 🤨🤣
She went to get the dog
I feel like this is a reflection of poor education. As a kid I was taught what to do and not to do. There would be ads on TV about this type of thing.
Guess as a society we kinda stopped trying to teach this type of thing?
A firefighter taught this in a lecture at my school when I was a child.
A while later, when I was about 10 years old, my cousin forgot the oil on the stove until it caught fire. She ran to get water, but I remembered what the firefighter had said, I simply covered the pan, and problem solved. Well, except for the smell, which took a few hours to disappear.

Society today still teaches it plenty. But just like when you were a kid, some listen better than others.
I'm 40.
Growing up I was never taught how to cook, and we hardly ever cooked in oil for health reasons. I, myself, have never cooked in oil beyond like, PAM. I didn't learn about this kind of thing until I saw it on the Internet.

My favorite part is the fire dying out on its own at the end
They probably would have run outside and called the fire brigade, claiming "Our entire kitchen is on fire" in a panic, only for the fire marshal to show up and laugh his ass off.
Let’s play on the stove like we mean it.
If that girl was a deer, she would jump through a sliding glass door.
Excellent problem solving skills! They managed to stay calm and handle the situation. Kudos!
i love it when people totally overreact and the scene they flee from instantly calms down. Really pulls the whole comedic situation together in a neat little bow.
I love how they just run in opposite directions 😂😂😂
I’m chortling over the “Faith over Fear” shirt.
Sheesh... Some people just shouldn't.
Did she pour water into oil?
She summoned Balthazar with an offering.
cue evil laughter in the backround.
What ever you do be sure not to panic🤪
People still throw water on an oil fire? They missed that one???
Shorty in white is chaos walking
I feel like every house should have a mandatory sign in the kitchen that says dont pour water on a grease fire.
the hoodie says FAITH OVER FEAR lol
I'm always reminded of a scene in Gone in 60 Seconds (with Nicholas Cage) when I see these videos. Cool, calm, collected, and conveniently something to snuff the flame nearby that ISN'T water.
fully bought into the whole 'faith over fear' thing
I always thought it was common knowledge not to put water in a grease fire.. I was taught in school & later on reminded by my mother. Is it not taught in all schools?
Faith Over Fear
Not the kinda people you want at your side in a emergency
Humanity is screwed with these upcoming generations 🤦
Well at least they learned a valuable lesson. Most of us pre-internet people learned it this way lol
Cats
FAITH OVER FEAR
(Terms and conditions apply)
Faith over Fear
Huge props to them for the way the remained calm and level-headed
Put it in the oven! Your oven is a fire proof box it’s the one thing made to retain heat
Dog: wtf hoomans??

Toalha pode abafar o fogo facilmente
Simply cover the pot with its lid or a plate to extinguish the flame immediately.
Brave, Brave Ms Robin, Ms Robin ran away.
Made me think of that one cold open for The Office when Dwight locks the doors and sets off the fire alarm.
What an overraction
Kkkkkkk
I saw a video of a kitchen fire that was so bad I felt compelled to purchase a bunch of fire blankets. Now we have them set up in a few places around the kitchen and house.
Parents please teach your kids how to cook, if not they end up like these two very slow children.
Somebody remove these non cooks from the kitchen please.
Yeah, Bluey is really not living that tag line eh
how about ... a lid? 🤔
Looks like fear won out over faith
Turn the stove off and cover the fire with a pot lid.
DO NOT THROW WATER ON IT!
I hope the dog is safe.
The survival instincts of a potato.
The hoodie says FAITH OVER FEAR
They allmost ran to themselfs, panic is crazy.
Pour lots of salt over it or take a large metal pan or even a baking sheet and put that over the flames and (fingers crossed) all should be good in the world
Ah yes add water
If these ever happen to you, turn off the stove, add more oil to the fire and close the pot with the cover.
You’re not supposed to do that
It’s criminal IMO that our schools don’t teach kids how to deal with kitchen fires.
Water on grease fire
Just cover it with a lid never pour water on a grease fire
The number of people who still put water on a grease fire in today's world with the thousands of videos out there showing this exact thing happening is troubling
Reminds me of startled cats
pouring water on the oil and then jumping over the high counter almost rendering herself unable to get away from the fire
What'd she drop in the pot to start the fire in the first place?
I just took this 911 call yesterday morning, except the caller claimed they threw the equivalent of a 5lb bag of flour on it and it didn't help......they kept saying I'm out of flour, what do I do? Get. Out. Now.
Some people are not meant to live unsurpervised

Lol her sweater says „faith over fear“. That covers it. Perfectly
For a generation that sees thousands of tik toks and videos and have access to endless information, but they don't know what to do when a simple accident happens and the solution is running away..
The dog was like fug this im out!!!
what too much faith does to people, unironically. makes them fkn stupid.
The song lmao
Seeing the running tap and immediatly know what was going to happen had me feeling like Nostradamus
Prepared Hero stealing this clip for their next ad in 3… 2…
all they needed was a lid
Whew. I'm glad nobody panicked.
😅😆
Why is it always the morons who set up a camera in their living room?
Oh boy, use the lid ffs, just put a lid on and take it off the heat.
Always have a fitted lid nearby you can calmly and quickly put over an excessively flaring pan if you're cooking with oil or alcohol. And turn off the heat.
(0:10) girl gets water from the sink… 🤦🏻♂️
And open the door to give more fresh air to feed the fire! Oh, it went out by itself? Some more oxygen might have helped the fire.
Idiots.
I hate it when that happens
How fucking stupid are they??????
Crazy that two grown adults don't know not to pour water on a grease fire.
I bet she was running to grab the garden hose lol.
Here we see two brain cells fighting for third place.
Wait, aren't they supposed to be good at this?
Panic never ends right. Breath, take control and know your options. Amazed they could get out of bed in the morning with that mind set.
Did she take the lid off?
Third video with mixing burning oil and water this week.
The dog was the only one making rational decisions.
Putting out fires with gasoline.
Next time, salt on the fire, not water or Everclear. Better yet, get yourself a fire extinguisher and aim it at the BASE of the fire.
A fire extinguisher at close range is a great way to knock the pot off the stove and set fire to the rest of the kitchen..
We all know not to do this, and they probably knew not to do it, but panic really fucks with your head, you can know all the rules but if you can't control your panic reaction your screwed
They god the fire knew to put itself out
Pork chop sandwiches!
Who needs eyelashes.
This is why home ec should be mandatory as well as shop class or auto shop
They probably did not learn cooking when they were young .
When in danger, when in doubt, run in circles and scream and shout!
FAITH OVER FEAR
“Faith over fear” apparently not
