Brilio.net - Kitchen areas equipped with stoves have a potential risk of fire. The danger of fire can arise from damage to the stove or the gas cylinder used. Proper anticipation and handling are needed to prevent fire incidents in the kitchen.
When faced with a large fire that appears from the stove, the spontaneous action that is often done is to pour water on the source of the fire. However, the method of extinguishing fire using water can actually worsen the situation and cause damage to the stove . Even more dangerous, water poured on the stove fire can cause sparks that spread to other areas in the kitchen.
There are safer and more effective ways to deal with stove fires than using water. A short tutorial on safe stove fire extinguishing techniques has been shared on the BERBAGI DUNIA YouTube channel. The methods shown in the video can be practiced quickly and easily in emergency situations.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube BERBAGI DUNIA on Tuesday (12/17), the first thing to do when a gas stove catches fire is to tilt the gas cylinder. So, the gas cylinder that supplies gas to the stove must be positioned tilted immediately. More precisely, to make the regulator (which connects the hose) face the bottom.

In the video, he practices this method on a stove that is on fire. And in an instant, the stove fire immediately goes out. Furthermore, the YouTube user then explains how the method works.

Basically, a fire occurs because of excess gas in the stove and the surrounding air. In this case, the gas cylinder is the main source that supplies the gas. Therefore, the gas flow must be stopped immediately.
Then, when the gas cylinder is tilted, the gas flow will immediately be blocked. This is because when the cylinder is tilted, the marble-shaped gotri ball in the regulator will immediately block the gas flow to the cylinder. Therefore, the fire on the stove immediately goes out.
"The gotris is what will block the gas flow when there is a leak or a fire that has already occurred. So we can tilt the gas cylinder," explained YouTube BERBAGI DUNIA.
But please note that this technique applies to regulators that have gotri. If the regulator is not designed with such objects, then you can use another way, namely by modifying the regulator.

This modification can be done by installing an iron ventilator at the end of the hose connected to the regulator. If you want to install a ventilator, don't forget to provide additional claims or hooks on the gas hose. That way, you can prevent a major fire in the kitchen.

Although very useful, the video still garnered responses from netizens. Through the comments column, there were other YouTube users who asked about other alternatives in dealing with small fires on the stove.
"It's easier to open the regulator, sir, there are no obstacles like you explained," said @maknurmanurung9726.
"Opening the regulator takes a few seconds longer. Try practicing, which is faster? Especially if the regulator is a twist lock model like Destec, wow, it's much slower," said YouTube BERBAGI DUNIA.
Having been watched more than 11 thousand times, this video immediately caught the attention of netizens. Several other YouTube users even gave positive responses through the comments column. Most of them admitted that the trick was very easy to imitate and safer to do.
"Simple and safe," said YouTube @mustinsdaihatsu2612.
"Thank you, boss, for the information. Always be successful," said YouTube @wahidinwahidin8138.
"Useful information, bro," said YouTube @yasienservice5831.
