HOW TO DEAL WITH A GREASE FIRE

CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY IF THE FIRE APPEARS OUT OF CONTROL

01

Turn off the heat.

02

Move the pan to a cool burner. If it's a small fire, throw baking soda or salt directly on top of the fire to quell it.

03

Place a metal cookware lid or cookie sheet over the pan.

04

If need be, reach for your fire extinguisher, then pull the pin, aim the nozzle, and squeeze the lever while pointing at the fire.

IF A GREASE FIRE DOES START, NEVER DOUSE IT WITH WATER OR ANY OTHER KIND OF LIQUID IN AN ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH IT!
