BillOreillysays...next time, try birch bark and pine needles, I hear that works real good too
dagsays...Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)
At first I thought "well, at least they aren't foolish enough to put water on an oil fire". Then he brought out the hose.
I know people tend to look dumber through the video glass eye but these guys seem retarded- and I don't mean that in the pejorative way - and so should probably not be deep frying turkeys unsupervised in their group home or adult care facility.
therealblankmansays..."...'cause that's what they tell you in biology class".
This whole damn family is a biology experiment.
And people wonder why the American Empire is on the wane.
Kerotansays...wow they finally covered it over with a blanket... I'm glad I learnt the fire triangle at school.
and these people act like calling the firemen costs money, they are public servants and this is what they do, they put out fires...
StukaFoxsays...Fire and Dumbfucks -- two great tastes that go together great!
Kruposays..."Is there a turkey there?"
Glad they got their priorities right.
At least two of them downvoted the hose.
Glad someone else also knew to get rid of the tank. Hold on... did he take it INTO the house?
It's stupid, but they actually called the FD, so I'm not calling it Homer stupid.

NordlichReitersays...turn the propane tank off, then use a fire extinguisher.
nibiyabisays...*cooking
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Cooking) - requested by nibiyabi.

Yeah, I'm not so sure anyone's wondering about that.
roosh4says...It seems like they didn't quite understand the gravity of the situation.
thinker247says...I want to hang out with these people and randomly set things on fire, just to watch them lose it.
Nomino, you've given us three fine EIA videos today. Good job.
toastsays...You have to got love how the only guy who spoke any sense was ignored... maybe the guy with the water hose was deaf (to common sense).
ponceleonsays...I don't know why, but there are a number of sifts today which instictively make me think of the song "America, F*(k Yeah!"
RedSkysays...Why put it out?
It had a perfectly valid function as an effigy to their insanity.
alizarinsays...It wasn't smart to set the thing up on a wooden deck BUT they did do the right thing - call the fire department, wet the area under it, carefully cool the container without getting water in the oil, then starve the fire for oxygen. Could've done without the propane of course.
rychansays...Agree with Alizarin. You guys are all overreacting. Ok, it wasn't the smartest place to set it up, but once it's on fire they did the right things.
They wet down the area underneath it.
They moved away all the other tanks.
They called the fire department.
They knew not to spray water all over it because it was an oil fire.
They knew it was dangerous to leave it as is, because the pedestal it was on was melting.
They successfully smothered it with a wet carpet.
The initial situation was ripe for disaster but they did reasonable things.
calvadossays...Take those propane tanks with you! You'll need them for the zombies.

HollywoodBobsays...Where was their fire extinguisher? They shouldn't have even lit that fire without one at hand.
Why oh why can't we put criminal stupidity laws on the books?
8266says...You guys are all so busy making fun of them...
Looks to me they did things right.
A) they used water to "cool" the oil not to spray on it.
b) they covered the fire.
c) they called for help.
d) they removed the propane tank
Now whats so wrong with that ?
imstellar28says...opinions in the title steer the sheep in predicable directions.

It's not universal, but in a lot of places they will actually bill you, and that stuff is not cheap. Doesn't mean you shouldn't call them, naturally. It's still better than the alternatives.
Every year I plan on deep frying a turkey but every year I also have to imagine the consequences of having five gallons of boiling oil on a flimsy tripod over an open flame. They do taste damn good though.

Thank you for the kind words. I've put one more up waiting to get sifted...
Paybacksays...I don't know about how smart these people are, TBQH. I sure wouldn't trust them to be storing the extra propane INSIDE their house...
joedirtsays...I am SOOoOOo disappointed by this video. Surely, I thought he was going to spray down the vat of oil. That would have been awesome. But seeing how they couldn't find an extinguisher, I thought the hose was a good idea. You can spray down the deck to protect your wood from burning and when the oil finally does spill forth molten burning goodness, you can spray it away from the house and over the edge of the deck.
Now I think it was bat-shit insane to spray water on to the vat of oil or on to the blanket. And some kid was walking around with the freaking pot lid, why was that not used???
13757says...lol thanksgiving... it's full of fail
biminimsays...I'm not about to give them much credit. For one, they vetoed the baking soda idea. For another, they didn't have a fire extinguisher handy. Third, they kept the propane nearby. Fourth, they set the thing up on a wooden deck. Fifth, the hose--he could have made a big, life-altering mistake. You don't get many points from me for pulling a victory out of the jaws of defeat because you were so stupid in the first place.
deathcowsays...They needed to use the Red Adair approach of fire extinguishing.
