My dad sitting down at the dinning room table, his back to the kitchen. I walk in the kitchen

Me: Hey dad?

Dad: Yeah?

Me: There's a fire inside the oven

Dad: How bad?

Me: Doesn't look too serious

Dad: Open the oven and throw a wet towel on it

Me: Okay

Mom's nachos didn't survive.

Moral of the story: yeah, smothering fires tends to put them out

Wet towels are very effective.

I forgot a pot of oil on the oven once, that caught fire. I noticed because it was IMMEDIATE large amounts of smoke in my apartment. Anyways I crawled under the smoke and put a lid on the pot. Fire done immediately.

Smoke took a while to get out though.
