 This is so  important ... I never heard of doing the
 wet towel thing ... but I  will remember it after seeing this. 

 This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to SAFELY deal
 with a common kitchen fire oil in a frying pan  by using a wet towel. Read
 the following introduction and then watch the show. It's important

 At the Fire Fighting Training school they would demonstrate this
 with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would
 don a fire suit and, using an 8 oz cup  of water attached at the end 

of a 10-foot pole, toss water onto the grease fire. The results got the
 attention of the students.The water, being heavier than the oil, sinks 

 to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive 

 force of  the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, 

 it became a 30-foot high fireball that resembles  a nuclear blast.  

 Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills 

 the entire room. Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup
 creates the explosive force of two sticks of  dynamite.
