I had to deploy one in my house one time! A person that was being transferred to Turkey gave me a box of whatever was in her utility closet. I put it on my washing machine and went outside to chat with a neighbor.
A day later, I had a fire from whatever was in the box. What??? Spontaneous combustion! WTH? Combustible materials self-heat to a temperature high enough for ignition to occur. It did. It is a story for a post, but, needless to say, I would never, never use one of those again. It took me forever to clean the mess.
Well, I would, but, I honestly don't want to!!
I do love these foamy cans. Cleaner and easier! Great post!
OMGoodness ! That's terrible AND scary ! Still, I'm glad you had something handy to put it out.
"They" do say the spray cans are an easier clean up. When it's a true threat of course, clean up is about the last thing on your mind.
People picture home fires more in the kitchen than anywhere else, but there are so many other possibilities. With all the electrical things we have these days and the such, you just never know. For cooks, small kitchen fires, usually on the stove were never a lot of problem, just throw a pot lid over to smother or sprinkle some baking soda across a grease fire also smothers it and puts it right out.
It is always best to be prepared though, especially when it comes to fire. Things can get out of hand fast in just the wrong situation.
Thanks for stopping over !
