A 60-year-old woman had to be hospitalized on Sunday with burn injuries to her hands. According to the police, the angry girl wanted to prepare food and heated a saucepan with oil. For unknown reasons, it caught fire, so that when the pot lid was removed a flame developed. The woman instinctively took the pot off the stove and held it under running water, causing a greater reaction between the water and the hot oil.
As a result, a large fire briefly spread and damaged some kitchen items. In addition, the hot splashes of fat spread throughout the room. According to the police, the 60-year-old was lucky and only burned her hair and both hands. According to the initial assessment of the emergency doctors on site, however – apart from scars – no long-term consequences are to be expected. The angry girl was brought to a special clinic for burn injuries in Munich to treat the wounds.
In addition to an ambulance and ambulance, the air rescue service was also in action. Two patrol crews from the Poingen police were also on site, but according to the current status of the investigation, outside participation can be ruled out.
In this context, however, the police explicitly point out that under no circumstances should a grease fire be extinguished with water. This creates a flash of flame and the grease splash in an uncontrolled manner, which can lead to serious injuries. If in doubt, it is advisable to turn off the stove, leave the house and alert the fire brigade so as not to put yourself in danger.
