It might sound weird, and before we go any further, let’s remember that the best option to fight fire is to have a fire extinguisher close at hand.
But accidents often occur when you least expect them.
For example, imagine you’re in a place where there’s no fire extinguisher or water to put out a fire. What would you do?
It doesn’t hurt to have a plan B – and a pretty good plan B is, surprisingly, Coca-Cola.
So how does it work? Well, grab a bottle of Coke and unscrew the cap.
Then, cover the opening with your thumb, shake the heck out of the bottle… and aim the bottle toward the fire.
Does it work?
Well, why not watch a firefighter give it a try?
Do as 800,000 others have already done and watch this firefighter demonstrate the technique:
It’s always worth having a few bottles of Coke at home, even if you don’t ever drink soda – but it should be pointed out that your first line of defense should be a fire extinguisher.
