Detailed explanation-1: -Never try to extinguish a grease fire with water. Throwing water on the fire can cause burning grease to splash, which can make the fire spread and potentially harm bystanders. It is dangerous to move a pan or pot of burning oil for the same reasons.
Detailed explanation-2: -You should never throw water on an electrical fire because water conducts electricity and you could be electrocuted.
Detailed explanation-3: -As the water makes contact with the grease and vaporizes, it can carry small particles of grease with it, helping spread the fire. Another common reaction to seeing a fire in a pan on the stove is to move the pot or pan to the sink to try to contain the fire, or to rush outside with the flaming pot.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cover the Pot with a Metal Lid-Fire cannot exist in the absence of oxygen. With the lid on (and the heat off), the fire should quickly consume all the oxygen and put itself out. Use a metal lid since glass will shatter. Pour on Baking Soda-Baking soda will extinguish grease fires, but only if they’re small.
