18 Of The Most Unfortunate Kitchen Fails

If it is safe, unplug the appliance. If the fire continues or spreads, call the fire department immediately. Keep a small fire extinguisher in your kitchen to use on electrical fires or for other fires. Do not use water to extinguish an electrical fire. Use a pot pan or pour baking soda over the flames to smother grease fires. Water will not work and should not be used. When cooking near a gas flame, avoid wearing loose clothing that could catch fire.
