I guess I can do more than sit on my bottom. XD

I just put out a grease fire on the stove. XD My sister left a pot unattended and didn't know that the burner and surrounding area had a bit of a grease spill yesterday... We have a great information network, and clean-up crew. <.<; Anyway, since I face into the kitchen, I was able to notice it and put it out. Although it wasn't easy since the pot was full of water (for spaghetti) and I needed to move it off of the burner so I could put it out... But the flames were covering the pot and even melted the two handles to some extent. With the help of some stove mitts, I put it out like clockwork. I also had to put out one of the mitts on my pants. ^_^; It was fun, though... It sure beats just sitting here all day. O.o

Lol, reminds me of my own fire story.

It was thanksgiving three years past, and my immediate family and around six near relatives were at the table dining. I got up to refill the water, and noticed something was amiss in the adjacent kitchen.

"There's a fire in the toaster oven." I spoke, cool as a cucumber. No one paid me any mind.

"There's a fire in the toaster oven." No one seemed to care above their chatter. So, I shrugged, and figured I'd take care of it. It was just inside the toaster oven, and didn't seem too bad. So I reached over and aimed the sink hose at the offending incendiary accumulation.

It was of course a grease fire, unbeknowst to my hapless self. When the jet of water hit it it went WHOOSH and leapt upwards in a mighty blaze, and also made a loud noise.

"WHAT THE!?" everyone in the dining room had taken note of this occurence.

"I told you. There was a fire in the toaster oven." I calmly explained as I returned to my seat.

Heh-heh-heh... Yeah, I didn't tell anyone since I figured that I could handle it myself. Besides which it would have taken forever to get my mother off of her game. It just took wearing oven mitts and several well-placed blows from my mouth to tackle it. No oxygen for you, buster! I don't care if you do have alternative fuel! You're just another America! ROAR! :O

x_x, yer a beast! I was all like "Oh shit. Fire. This isn't gonna work out. I'm totally going to be blamed. Pass the buck, pass the buck!" ;p. One of my favouritest things to do with fire is play with those really small candles that comes in the flat circular trays. If you moisten your palm you can easily smother them by just covering them with your hand. When you do that and they go out they burn up their oxygen and create a super fun suction compression force against your hand! You can then wave it about and laugh in gravity's face.

Hehe, I also have a fire story in the kitchen.

I was making myself popcorn, I always want it to pop up all so I put the oil to heat and close the pot with it's cap.

(crazy english guys!)

After a while I uncap the pot and suddently the oil burst into flames. It was interesting to watch the first 5 minutes but then it was growing too much.

Then I threw sand over it and the fire was put out. The pot was 100% black, originally it was red.

I guess the pot can now call the hot burner red now without being hypocritical :P

@_@ You watched the fire?

Usually someone aims to put those out first. You're lucky you didn't burn yourself third degree style when you popped the lid. Never let a little bit of oil heat up for more than a minute, you're seriously asking for trouble.
