PUTTING OUT A GREASE FIRE
A dry chemical, foam or Halon type fire extinguisher should be
near the range where you can easily reach it on case of a cook-
ing fire. A Hafon extinquisher will not spoil food and makes no
mess.
Never use water on a grease fire - it will only spread the flames.
Never pick up a flaming pan. Instead:
1. Turn off the burner.
2. Smother the fire with a tightly fitting pan lid, baking soda or
an extinguisher.
