Is there anything baking soda can't do?
Yup! Believe it or not, years ago on Pesach when a range-top flame exploded in seconds literally licking the top cabinets above the microwave, my neighbors were astounded how in the world I knew to grab the baking soda... By the time the FD arrived the fire was out although the smoke was still furiously pouring out the windows, odor lingered for days outside, you can imagine the intensity of that blaze... Chasdei Hashem damage was minimal. I was
shocked that it wasn't common knowledge, hence the PSA here...
