Hello friend!
Here's ur answer!
Electrical Fires
Switch off appliance and pull out plug. Smother fire with blanket or Type C extinguisher. Never try to cool with water because water conducts electricity and can give you an electrical shock.
Fire In Oven
Avoid letting grease build up in any part of oven. A greasy broiler can catch fire even during preheating. If there is too much fat on a piece of meat, the grease may flare up and start a fire.
Gas Fires
How to Fight Small Gas Fires
Shut off gas supply. Smother with rug, blanket or Type B extinguisher or cool with water. Ventilate the area to let out the gases. Call the Fire Department to have the area pipes checked for further hazards. Then call the gas company. If there is a gas fire, it may be better to let the gas burn rather than extinguish the fire, which would let the gas fill the room or house creating the potential for an explosion. Therefore, the primary key is to shut off the gas supply and call the fire department.
Leaking Gas
Never enter an area with a lighted match or cigarette if you smell gas from a pipe, heater or stove. Do not turn light switches on or off. The smallest spark or flame could ignite gas in the air and cause an explosion.
Hope it helps!!
