On March 2nd, in Enshi, northern China, a woman accidentally ignited a kitchen fire while frying food. With customers arriving, she forgot to turn off the stove, leading to a blaze. Despite her quick thinking to cover the pot with a lid and then a wet towel, the fire intensified. Fearing the worst—a potential explosion from the gas stove or the range hood catching fire—she attempted to remove the pot. In a harrowing moment, she slipped on spilled oil, narrowly avoiding injury as she tossed the flaming pot outside. Miraculously, she emerged unscathed, albeit with singed hair.

3月2日，湖北恩施。一女子烧了几斤菜油在锅里，由于外面来了顾客买东西忘了关火，油锅着火，女子见状赶紧用锅盖盖，但是没盖住。后又用湿毛巾往上盖，没想到火势更大了。上怕油烟机着火，下怕煤气灶爆炸。女子迅速用湿毛巾包住锅把手，端起锅准备丢外面去，谁知溅到地上的油让她脚底一滑摔倒，她第一反应迅速将油锅丢出去，这一瞬间她仿佛置身“火海“。万幸该女子没有受伤，但是头发表面被烧焦了一层。
