Baking soda can be used as a natural fire extinguisher

Did you know that baking soda is a natural extinguisher?

Sodium bicarbonate can be used to put out small and controllable house fires; small grease and electrical fires. You can look at this other blog to find out how to put out small fires around your house.

Did you ever consider salt to be a natural extinguisher as well?

A lot of people do not realize that salt is one of the main ingredients in a conventional fire extinguisher. Salt disperses heat and minimizes oxygen supply to a fire. Salt is better used on a grease fire on or around an oven.

It goes without saying that fire is dangerous and can quickly get out of control. Having  conventional fire extinguishers available is the best option. However, it is always good to be informed of other alternatives if needed under an emergency. Stay fire safe Cenla!
