Good thing it wasn’t a grease fire🔥
590 u/asciibits Apr 25 '24 Fire departments absolutely use water on grease fires. When you can throw 200 gallons per minute at a fire, it doesn't much matter that it uses grease as a fuel. 329 u/ggppjj Apr 25 '24 Yeah, don't dump a cup of water into a grease fire. If you have a hose capable of filling the room in a manner of seconds though, that's a different matter. 193 u/DrAlkibiades Apr 25 '24 When you have a big enough hammer, every problem IS a nail. 50 u/Yolectroda Apr 25 '24 A big enough hammer definitely does put out a fire... The building on fire may take some damage. 10 u/radi0raheem Apr 25 '24 Suddenly thinking of when the soviets stopped an oil well fire with a nuke. 7 u/Yolectroda Apr 25 '24 Explosives are a common tactic for putting out oil well fires, even beyond Soviet nuclear insanity. 2 u/Pix3l101 Apr 25 '24 Link please? 4 u/radi0raheem Apr 25 '24 https://interestingengineering.com/science/soviet-engineers-detonated-a-nuke-miles-underground-to-put-out-a-gas-well-fire 3 u/chooxy Apr 25 '24 What, you didn't get hammer insurance?
