Recently, near the Xingduhui Community in Laifeng County, Hubei Province, the oil pan in the back kitchen of a restaurant suddenly caught fire. In a panic, the staff of the restaurant tried to blow out the fire with their mouths over and over again, which almost caused a catastrophe.
It can be seen from the video surveillance that the kitchen staff left the kitchen at 9:57:30, and smoke began to fill the kitchen 8 minutes later.
During this period, there will be no staff on duty in the kitchen.
After finding thick smoke coming out of the kitchen, the staff member returned to the kitchen to close the stove valve, and opened the lid of the pot in panic, causing an open flame to escape from the pot.
Faced with the sudden burst of fire, the staff member panicked and tried to blow out the fire with his mouth. After finding no effect, he used a mop to try to put out the fire. In the end, the fire became bigger and bigger, and thick smoke filled the entire kitchen.
Fortunately, there were not too many combustibles around the oil pan, and there were no serious consequences.
After the accident, the local fire department organized a fire safety training for employees of the restaurant.
The fire department reminds that you cannot leave the kitchen with fire for cooking. When you find that the oil pan is on fire, you should quickly close the gas valve, cover the oil pan with a lid or a larger rag, or pour a certain amount of vegetables into the pot. Remember not to pour water into the pot.
If the fire cannot be controlled, use a fire extinguisher to put out the fire and call "119" for the police.
