Did... did you read it right? She was talking about Oil Field fires, where explosives were/are used.for oil/grease fire, you want to use a specific fire extinguisher. specifically the foam extinguisher, dry powder extinguisher, and CO2 extinguisher.
in the absence of such things, dirt would be a good option. fire blanket can also be used. baking soda can also be used, but most household don't have the required amount. if the fire is small(on your sauce pan for example), simply covering it with the lid should cut the oxygen.
never use dynamite. i know this is common sense and intended as a joke, but the amount of people without brain is increasing by the day.

my point still stands. this proves that idiots keep increasing in number. myself included.Did... did you read it right? She was talking about Oil Field fires, where explosives were/are used.
no, it's not used for that nor does it work like that at all: extremely high order explosives(not just any explosive, pure liquid nitroglycerin is used) are detonated on the wellhead with such enormous force and velocity that it displaces ALL the oxygen from the area thus putting out the fire.my point still stands. this proves that idiots keep increasing in number. myself included.
also, there's no difference. as long as the source is oil/grease. the grenade is probably used for "digging" the earth, thus making it rain dirt, and providing "empty" plot where the fire can't spread. i see that now. but if you can use fire extinguisher, use it. the proper ones.
well i am humbled once more, good sir.no, it's not used for that nor does it work like that at all: extremely high order explosives(not just any explosive, pure liquid nitroglycerin is used) are detonated on the wellhead with such enormous force and velocity that it displaces ALL the oxygen from the area thus putting out the fire.
there's no "dirt rain" or empty plot or anything of the sort, the gas/fuel will keep gushing out at extreme pressure but won't be on fire
never use dynamite. i know this is common sense and intended as a joke, but the amount of people without brain is increasing by the day.
