How do you put out a flour fire?

1. Turn off the heat source. If the flour is on a stovetop, turn off the burner. If it's in an oven, turn off the oven and open the door.

2. Smother the fire with a fire extinguisher. If you have a fire extinguisher, use it to smother the fire. Aim the extinguisher at the base of the fire and sweep it from side to side.

3. Cover the fire with a damp towel or blanket. If you don't have a fire extinguisher, cover the fire with a damp towel or blanket. This will help to smother the fire and prevent it from spreading.

4. Call the fire department. If the fire is too large or if you're unable to put it out, call the fire department.

Here are some additional tips for preventing flour fires:

- Keep flour in a cool, dry place.

- Don't store flour near heat sources.

- Use flour within a few months of purchase.

- If you're using flour in a recipe, measure it out carefully and avoid spilling any.

- Clean up any flour spills immediately.
