Fires+and+Burns


 * Dear Epic Fail Blog,**

I was making homemade french fries, when the grease in the pan caught on fire. I used a nearby towel as an oven mitt and ran the pan over to the sink to run water on it and put out the fire, but the towel caught on fire in the process and I burned my hand. I ran the pan under water but it wouldn't go out, and then it spread and eventually burned my whole house down. Also, I tried to help my burned hand heal by putting some lotion with cocoa butter on it, but it only made it worse.

Dear flaming French Fries in Florida,

First of all you should never use a towel as a oven mitt. Second, you shouldn't have tried to put out the fire with water, it doesn't work on greese fires. You also shouldn't have moved the pot. You should have turned off the heat, wet a towel, and thrown the twel over the fire. Also, when you burned your hand, you should have run it under some water and then have put a clean dry bandage on it.
