- Oil Kitchen Fire Video
- I never realized that a wet dishcloth can be a one size fits all lid to
cover a fire in a pan! This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short)
about how to deal with a common kitchen fire ...oil in a frying pan.
Read the following Introduction, then watch the show ...It's a real
eye-opener!! 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 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 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 thirty foot high fireball that resembled 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 of either creates
the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite. This is a powerful message----
watch the video and don't forget what you see. Tell your whole family about this
video. Or better yet, send this to them. P.S. Also remember to turn off the
vent over your Stove if it's on at the time of a fire.

- Notes:
Signs of Toxicity
Due to the slow and awkward movement
of the Bufo toad, dogs readily will attack them.
When attacked, the toads release the toxins
and dogs become affected. Common signs of
intoxication include the following: foaming
from the mouth, drooling, pawing at the mouth,
vomiting, stumbling, falling, tremors, rigid legs,
and seizures.
Treatment
If your dog is exhibiting signs of toxicity,
is conscious, and not seizuring then:
* Rinse the mouth with running water:
place a garden hose or faucet along the
side of the mouth and run the water.
* Rinse the mouth for 3 to 5 minutes
at a time for a total of 3 times.
IMPORTANT:
Do not force water down your pet’s mouth
or try to make your pet swallow.
Do not give any oil, milk, or other
substance besides water.
- Keep Toads Out
- Use “hardware cloth” which, in spite of the name, is a kind of wire
mesh with small square openings, to keep toads out.
It comes either galvanized or coated with green or black plastic
(which makes it next to invisible except up close).
Hardware cloth is also excellent to lay on the ground under a fence
or a garden gate to keep the dog from digging it’s way out.
The grass will grow up through the little square holes so you can’t see
it but the dog will know it’s there and stop trying to escape.
