Most people would panic and through water or run out of the house screaming

Great post/video. Hopefully a lot more people get to watch it so lives and properties can be saved. I totally agree with Aaron, more Home Safety Tips should become a regular occurrence not only here at Boise Real Estate Soup but in other sites as well. Thanks for sharing!

Whew, I never knew that water could cause more damage than good in grease fires. I’m glad you posted the video. It was very helpful especially with the information on what type of fire extinguisher was good for grease fires. I thought all fire extinguishers were the same. This is really great information and I’m glad you posted this! Way to go!!!

This is a great video! I personally had a grease fire scare recently and luckily, my husband knew what to do. It’s one of those things you just don’t think about, but I am definitely prepared for next time!

Nice video. Simple to be understood. If i did not saw this video, I would probably use water, but now I know that it’s wrong. And anyone will learn from that. But in this kind of case most people get panic if fire is coming out. Thanks for that video, It’s a safety precaution for us.

Water is the worst for grease fires, but the problem is, it flies in the face of reason. It is sort of like steering into a slide while hydro planing. Keeping your wits is key.
