I am teaching my son about how to respond to fires and also stocking the kitchen with the First Alert Fire Extinguishing Spray. We also have a fire blanket available in the kitchen. I’m making an easy to reference visual to show which response to prioritize for each type of fire. As much as possible I want to provide him 1 response to eliminate making a decision in the moment. He will do best with methods that involve 1 step, whenever possible.
Does a fire extinguisher trump all the other methods? Can anyone clarify which is the most preferred response to put out the fire for each of the below?
Inside microwave or oven (after turning off) - keep door shut? fire extinguisher?
Stove top - cover with a baking sheet or lid? fire extinguisher (can this be the go-to response whether it’s grease or not)? Fire blanket?
Appliance fire - fire extinguisher?
Flammable object (ie oven mitt, paper towels) - fire extinguisher?
