The first time I tried to put it out it was smokey and I couldnt breath. ran outside, went back in and almost gave up again because I couldnt breath and the fire was sounding like a torch. I thought it was impossible to put out. I toughed it out and figured I'd stand there blowing the extinguisher till I almost died....then I'd run out and give up.
The girls cleaned some of it up...there at walmart now buying better cleaning stuff.

I'm glad you got it out. :prayer:
-
Robert, when I said I was bored and you better post I didn't mean this shit! To get calm just think of the hottie with the WAY too short skirt at the Pizza Port that left before Brian showed up.
-
NEVER turn grease on high. medium setting is good enough. If you cant wait for it to cook fast enough, use the microwave. This scared the shit out of me. Oh, and dont just try to put it out yourself. Call for help! Fuck, I was on the puter and the house was about to burn down.
-
Damn, glad you got it out. Sorry to hear of this.
-
Flour is good for a grease fire. it smothers it.
-
That chick was hot! Well, up her skirt was at least.
Sylvan, you can count on me to bring something exciting to Ihadav8! :D

For that matter, maybe he should've thrown wives on it.
Seriously though Robert, Allis good now right? Home insurance can go a long way on nights like this.
-
No insurance. All is good. The firestarter (lol) is cleaning it up now. All is good!

Nothing like testicles to put out a grease fire.
-
Funny, when I grabed the extinguisher I couldnt pull the pin, I was panicing. Then I stopped and looked at what I was going. It took a couple seconds longer but I got the pin off and got the fire out. Who knows what would have happened if I didnt stop for a second.
Flour? I'll remember that but I dont know if I'll have time to antique a fire. lol

LMAO! I forgot about that one...lol

Nah Brian, Angle was going to cook some fishsticks.
Next October will be crawfish for us. I hope there in season! Nothin' like a crawfish boil with your buds!

or if no flour, take a cover from a pan, that will do it also... No more fires Robert.
-
Hey man, I'm just the fireman. Angel started it, lol. I should have never bought fishsticks. Fire wouldnt have happened.
-
Should've baked them. Mmm...

Guys that have flour, usually have a fat chick fettish. (TSMG, don't ask me to explain that.)

Really.
Please.

Shit dude that could have gotten ugly. If you have a grease fire start just put the lid on the pan and turn the burner off if you can. And its a good thing your fire Ex wasnt a water one. That would have sucked. Glad your OK dude
-
Too much panic to look for a lid, but thats a good idea.
-
There is a proper way to use an extinguisher too. We had the fire dept
come to the shop and give us instruction on a live fire that they set in a bucket.
With the wrong technique, you can actually make the fire worse.
-
The extinguisher blows hard. you gotta stand back.
-
You are damn lucky she didn't burn the place down!!

Sorry, but I could not help myself from laughing when I read this.......... :rofl;
-
lol, yeah, that is funny.
-
Always keep baking soda around thats the best for a grease fire.
-
Ok, now this is a good learning experience. I'm not knocking anyones ideas but I dont see how flower or baking soda would work too well. As far as I'm concerned, if you reached for flower b4 a fire extinguisher you'd be making a mistake.
Since I now have experience with grease fires...this is my public announcement. Flower or baking soda may work best but when you have a fire roaring you wont have a chance. If you try to sprinkle it on the fire you'll get burned and may catch yourself on fire. Now, when you first look at a grease fire, it's small. By the time you get the soda it'll be big. too big to sprinkle. That fire went from 36" to 6' in a few seconds. Now your at a point that you'll have to throw the soda at the fire. If you miss, your out of luck...no more soda. Fire rules your house. Now, with the proper fire fighting equipment, you have a WAY better and safer chance. You dont have to get near the fire. If you miss with the first squirt, you have another chance. We need to follow the proper rules for taking care of a fire. Think about it. Drag racers follow the rules and their only messing with their own lives. A fire will affect your family...or even worse.....
The down sides to the fire extinguisher. Dont stand too close. The pressure will blow the grease all over the place. When I first started to put it out, I was too close. I stepped back a few feet (because I was about to bail) and the next thing you know....fires out. From a distance, the extinguisher lays a nice coat of fire retardant. I'd say ten feet.
And oh yeah, forget about the mini extinguishers. ..or even the small ones for that matter. I used a medium one and when I checked the level it was almost on empty. That thing empties fast.
I dont mean to be anal but I dont want someone to make a wrong decision and burn their house down. This scared the crap out of me.
-
All you have said is correct. I'll add to it now.
The fire extinguisher should be aimed at the base of the fire in a side to side sweeping motion. Do not aim directly at the burning object. By hitting the base
of the flames, you're effectively shutting down the oxygen supply to the fire. Hitting
the burning object is more likely to spread the fire instead of putting it out.
Fire needs 3 things to happen. 1) a fuel source
2) oxygen
3) "ignition" [Robert had waaay to much of this]
The fuel source is the burning object itself
Oxygen occurs naturally in the atomosphere
Ignition is a source of heat.
To not have a fire, you need to remove at least one of these items.
Once a fire has started, it provides is own source of ignition, and
will keep itself going. Its usually too difficult to remove the source of fuel
under most conditions, so removing the oxygen, is usually the easiest way
to stop a fire.
-
Yeah yeah yeah, great story, but I just can't help but think that Robert is not telling us the whole story.
Racer X Theory:
Bloody Mary was over boiling his pet birds when all of a sudden...
-
Baking soda is really only used if you DONT have a fire extinguisher or its small fire that isnt huge like yours was
-
No, I was spitting game to a future Suicide Girl in hopes for a date. I told her about the fire...next thing you know, BAM! I got a date. We went out last night. Nuff said.
I think the only way I could hit Bloddy Mary is if I made a Buckethead costume for my dick.

I bet his damn cell phone went off! What did I tell you about that ringtone man?
Get a red and white striped condom. Two of them.

Either that or she told him that she had crabs, and Robert was like"Cool, I can
invite my buds over for a crab boil !"Then she accidentally knocked over the frying pan into the burner with her flailing arms while trying to stop Robert from stuffing her into the oven... alledgedly of course.

Hey Brian....you sew?
-
Hey Brian....you sew?
No, hew sows...
-
I can! LOL The price I pay for learning apparel construction and design.
-
So your down for making a costume?
-
What is with his cell phone?? What kind of ringer does he have??????
-
My ringer ROCKS!!!!!
-
His ring tone is some gawdawful song that makes me want to break it everytime I hear it.
Umm... how complicated is your costume idea? I don't have a machine, I use the industrials at school.
-
ok, well then what is it? Is it just an anoying sound??? or is it one of those downloaded tunes???
-
I just need you to take measurements and make a Buckethead costume. See post above...about eleven up.
-
I've got the perfect sewing machine for Brian. Its an old Singer foot powered one.
It used to belong to my Grandmother, and it was passed down to my Mother.
My Mother doesn't use it any more. It even has a button hole attachment.
It been used way pass the point of being valuable, but still works fine. Just
not anything to look at. Did I mention that it weighs a ton ! Its mostly cast iron.
