Default Oil Kitchen Fire Accident

Last night i was trying to cook somethihng new; i decided to cook Chinese food.

I made the marinade and the sauce was on low. And i put a full bottle of Peanut Oil in a large pot to deep fry the Seasme Chicken i was making.

Well it just so happens that Desperate Housewives is on. So i go to watch it, waiting for the peanut oil to come to a boil. Well after a short period of time, my wife notices smoke in the kitchen.

I go inside the kitchen and the pot with the oil has lots of smoke coming from it. This was the order of events that happened next.

1) I turned the heat off
2) i tried to take the pot off the burner,
Some how the pot got stuck to the burner, i give a little yank and it comes off and i palce it in the middle of the stove
3) the inside of the pot instantly goes on fire(wtf?) ( 1-2" flame inside the pot, on top of the oil )

I panic which brings me to my brain dead plan of "quick get it out, i need water"

4) i turn the faucet on
5) i place the pot filled with oil on fire under the faucet, standing back and holding it with my right hand.

KABOOOMM..a flame big enough to make Universal Studios proud ( about 3-4 ft wide and touching the ceiling )

the burnt of fire gets on my right hand i drop the pot of oil into the sink. and run outside to get the fire extinguisher.

Just so happens that the little metal stick to break the glass is gone!

I decide to punch it I give it a slight punch with my right hand( i'm right handed ) and thats when i realize my right hand is in pain.

I punch it with my left hand then as hard as i can get the fire extingusiher put out the fire

Just in time for the sprinklers to go off. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

So now the alarms are already on and i'm outside my door neighbors are all concerned and dialed 911, thats when i notice my right hand is burnt, and my left hand is gushing blood and a peice of my finger is dangling.

Fire trucks come turn the water off about a good 10 minutes later. Ambulence tells me to go to the hospital and ask if i want a ride. I decline and tell them i'll go myself.

I flooded my neighbor downstairs really badly and the fire man comments on the lack off metal stick that caused me to get my hand [censored] up was bad on the complex.

Yada Yada Yada, i got lots of stitches and 2nd degree burns. I do have pics but they look scary so i'm not sure if you want to see them.

Let me just say burns hurt really bad.

I filed an accident report with the complex to pay for pain/suffering/bills for the lack of the metal stick which is still pending.

I had to move out of my apartment because all the floors was flooded and the damge to the kitchen.

Next time put a lid on it. I guess that's information that would have been more useful to you yesterday though. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Cliff Notes: You burned your kitchen down and missed the ending to Desperate Housewives.

Sounds like a bad day.


Oh yeah... pics please!

Turn heat off. Leave alone, unless there are active flames.

Damn, dude. That's pretty wretched. Sometimes it's hard to think straight in a crisis.

That sucks, but I'll have to admit I was laughing at how you handled the entire thing.

I would suggest getting the following:

1. A lid
2. Baking soda
3. DVR so you can pause TV shows
