Because salt has such a high melting point, large quantities of it can put out fires. If you have a fireplace, you can extinguish the flames by pouring salt on them. The fire will go out quickly, and you’ll have an easier clean-up time.

If you ever encounter a grease fire, pour salt on it instead of water. Pouring water will only spread the oil, thereby spreading the fire. Use salt or baking soda to lower rogue flames on a grill or frying pan.
