Flames explode from a burning chip pan at a London Fire Brigade chip pan fire demonstration in Dec 2009. (See Description)
This is the final image in a sequence of a chip pan fire demonstration. For a seven image sequence of a chip pan fire demonstration, please see : (1) BGFDM5 (2) BGFD9N (3) BGFDRF (4) BGFDC9 (5) BGFDDW (6) BGFDF8 (7) BGFE4G. The image was recorded at a Fire safety awareness day by the Heston & Feltham fire service. The demonstration itself is designed to show people what NOT to do if confronted by a small oil fire (normally a chip pan). Emphasis was made of the effect this would have in an enclosed environment such as a kitchen. The final flames reached well over 3 metres in height. The demonstration starts with an out of shot Fireman pouring water (using a just visible 3m long rod with a cup sized container of water on the end) into a pan containing very hot cooking oil which had just caught fire. The covered pan had been left on a burner for several minutes, simulating an unattended chip pan.
