we had a kitchen fire.

A B/C extinguisher is best to keep in the kitchen. However, usually it is forgetten about in the panic of th emoment. We've had a kitchen fire in an apartment we used to live in. While the damage wasn't real bad (about a grand), it happened so fast that there wasn't much that could have been done. Thankfully no one was hurt in that fire.

I'm glad your dad got no more than he did. Blisters will heal eventually.

I haven't seen a house with a sprinkler installed in the kitchen, but that sure would be useful.

I'm glad it didn't get worst than that. I hope your father gets well soon.

guess i was thinking deep fryer = industral kitchen.

Well, sense i do install fire sprinklers for a living.. they're starting to put plastic PCV sprinklers in all Condo's and new houses.. its starting to be a rule to get pass inspection on building a new house. but in your case thats probably not your problem. but water would of just contained the fire and not put it out with only one head in the kitchen, but with 200 pounds of water you be amazed how much it would put out though.

That's pretty bad... 2nd degree burns are the most painful ones.
