Dear Community,

L5155 is reaching out for your support to help one of our own. Lieutenant Hilse’s grandson, Jace, has been bravely fighting cancer.

Recently, Jace faced a devastating relapse, with the cancer returning in both his spinal fluid and bone marrow. To give him the best chance of recovery, he urgently needs immunotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, and ongoing treatments.

We've partnered with Helping Heroes Foundation, who will generously match donations up to 10,000$ . You can contribute by cash, check, or Venmo (). Please drop off your donations at any Princeton Fire Station. We will take donations till September 8th 2025.

Toaster Rescue – Wooden Skewers Only! πŸͺ΅

πŸ”₯ Toaster Fire Waiting to Happen? πŸ”₯

If bread gets stuck, unplug the toaster and use a wooden skewer to get it out. Never use metal utensils – they can spark and start a fire.

πŸ”₯ Why it works: Wood doesn’t conduct electricity, keeping you safe.

βœ… Success Rate: 98% – A small change that prevents big accidents.

Salt, Not Water for Grease Fires πŸ§‚πŸ”₯

🚨 Grease Fire? DON’T Use Water! 🚨

If a grease fire breaks out, grab salt and pour it over the flames. The fire will die out instantly. No salt? Baking soda works too.

🚫 Never use water – it will make the fire explode and spread fast.

πŸ”₯ Why it works: Salt suffocates the flames by cutting off oxygen.

βœ… Success Rate: 95% – Fast, simple, and life-saving!

πŸ”₯ Fire Breaks Out?

Use This Cold Hack! ❄️

Keep a damp towel in the freezer. If a stovetop fire (NOT a grease fire) flares up, throw the frozen towel over it to smother the flames.

This method works for small stovetop fires involving food or materials, but NEVER use water on grease fires.

πŸ”₯ Why it works: A frozen towel won’t burn and quickly cools the flames, cutting off oxygen.

βœ… Success Rate: 85% – Quick, easy, and perfect for small fires (that aren’t grease-related).

Baking Sheet Smothering πŸͺπŸ”₯

πŸ”₯ Got a Fire in the Pan? πŸ”₯

Cover the flames with a baking sheet or metal lid – and leave it there. Don’t lift it for at least 15 minutes. Peeking will bring the fire back!

πŸ”₯ Why it works: No oxygen, no fire. The baking sheet suffocates the flames.

βœ… Success Rate: 90% – This method works for oven fires too!

The Drop of Water Trick πŸ’§

πŸ”₯ Stop a Fire Before It Starts! πŸ”₯

Before adding oil to a hot pan, flick a drop of water onto the surface. If it sizzles and evaporates immediately, the pan is too hot! Let it cool down before adding oil.

πŸ‘‰ Why it works: Overheated oil can ignite fast, leading to dangerous grease fires. This simple test can stop the danger before it starts.

βœ… Success Rate: 90% – This trick can save your kitchen!
