Help! My oven is on fire! What do I do?
Question:
Answers:
Lets just think about this for a moment...if your oven is on fire and it burns up then the next thing to go would be your kitchen, then your house and you. So let's put off getting out of the house and calling the fire dept. and go sit down, log in and ask us on FindHomeAnswers what to do...Maybe you should just give up cooking and stay on here to amuse us!
How bad is the fire? Is it bad enough to burn your house? If yes call the fire department of go out quick and get a fire extinguisher. Good luck!
throw baking soda on it if it is flaming. Then if electric go to fuse box and flip the fuse, if gas turn off gas to stove and call a professional.good luck!
That depends on what you are trying to cook. If it was hot dogs, you are very fortunate because you can still get the job done! Just skewer the hot dog and hold it close to the flames. When you figure it is cooked through, place it in a bun and dress with condiments to taste... Come on, nobody with a flaming oven would take time to post it here.
Well, this seems suspiciously fake. Oh well. For anyone else, close the oven door, turn off the power. It is okay to turn on the range hood fan if the fire is only in the oven but turn off the fan if the fire comes out of the oven vent under an element. Stovetop fires: turn off fan, slide a metal cookie sheet over the burning pan, use baking soda, or an ABC or BC fire extinguisher (white powder inside, usually white or red extinguisher)
use the microwave
I would put it out.
you put it out with some WATER
The first thing I would do is go to my computer, log on to Answers and ask what I should do.
what kind of fire?
is your food on fire?
does your over just starts of fire when you turn it on?
you can always call the Gas Company to take a look at your stove and they will tell you if your over/stove is in good condition or if it's a potential problem. if it's a potential problem he will tell you to get a new one.
it's always better to be Safe then Sorry!
always keep a fire extinguisher on hand and learn how to use it.
Good Luck!
HOW HALARIOUS! love these answers! lol. and whats even funnier is that people are actually taking time to give a brainiac answer... lol... im rolling... i agree with the guy who made the comments about the hot dogs... good answer !
Call 911
whether gas or electric - throw on some baking soda. make sure the electricity or gas is turn off. Don't use water - electrical stove will follow the water back to you. most fires in stoves are flames on the grease / cooking oil - water will just spread the fire. BAKING SODA or get a small firer extinguisher - If the fire was big - call the fire department just so the can confirm all embers are out.
Keep a fire extinguisher (kitchen size) in your kitchen.Use it when there is fire.
