Chip pan fires at home....
Discussion
This is what happens when you pour water over boiling chip fat, instead of doing the correct thing and smothering it with a wet towel.
I learnt my lesson the hard way, many years ago, when I did exactly the same thing in my parent's house when they were away on holiday....they came back to rather a mess...
The blast blew me backwards through the kitchen door....
Don't try this at home folks.....

What happened was my mum said "Right Wacky, we are going on holiday, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES make any chips or else there will be trouble!!!
After thirteen days I thought,..... It will be OK.... IF I stand near the cooker and don't take my eyes of the fat until it melts.....
Everything was going fine, until a mate rang (To ask if I was going to the pub tonight)...I instinctively went to answer the phone, which was in the hall, completely forgeting about the pan......
Two minutes later, there was a massive explosion, like an atom bomb going off...
, I shouted down the phone to my mate..."Ring the fire brigade for me, the kitchen's blown up".......
Needless to say, the kitchen was destroyed completely, and the thick acrid black smoke had gone right round the bungalow, ruining every ceiling in the house...
This happened way back in 1973, I was very very lucky I got out in one piece, which was more than can be said for the house.......
