Now I didn't see and of this happen (I was putting away my metal detector). I heard a sssshhhhhhhh sound and I thought it was the TV but when I came out of my room there was a lot of smoke and I looked and there was a singed carpet. So apparently my mom put water on the oil thus creating an oil fire, then she dropped the pan (which was engulfed by flames) onto the floor (upside down) which made the fire sufficate, then the smoke alarm went off and my mom said she had burnt her finger (it was blistered), she is in the emergency room as you are reading. There is carbon all over the kitchen. My brother has yet to get home from track, my dad has to pick him up... I can just imagine the conversation on the way back to our house. ps. carbon is black stuff, from the smoke. pps. I'm heading outside because its getting hard to breathe... The whole house must've filled up with smoke, but we've aired the place out.

I got hit with a ton of glass, as I was right next to the pan. it scared the crap out of me, and I'm not embarassed to admit I screamed like a little girl. I did, however, have a delayed response. so it was like bang wait a few seconds scream dance around scraping glass off skin no fire, but same kind of fear. glad to hear everyone's alright, for the most part
