Sample Flashpoint Test Question
Kitchen fires are one of the primary areas within a home residence where fires can occur. If there is a stovetop fire, which of the following should never be used to extinguish a grease fire?
Sodium Bicarbonate
Salt
Flour
D. Wet Chemical
Test taker answers: C
That is incorrect.
Flour “produces” a violent reaction that will cause the fire to spread if used on a grease fire.
This ingredient must never be used. In the case of a grease fire, NIFAST recommends
several options: baking soda is a sodium bicarbonate, and is known as a regular dry
chemical and will extinguish a grease fire. If that is not available, covering a grease fire is
another option, but potentially dangerous for skin burns.
NIFAST has partnered with Stoveranger to provide homeowners a new, aesthetically
designed stovetop fire safety product. This is a non-explosive, non-pressurized automatic
stove top fire extinguisher. Visit www.nifast.org for more information.
