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: -In short, you should only use a Class B fire extinguisher in this situation, because water can make grease fires much worse. This is because water and oil don’t mix with one another. Instead of extinguishing the fire, water can actually cause the grease to splatter and spread, thus making the situation much worse.
Detailed explanation-3: -You should never throw water on an electrical fire because water conducts electricity and you could be electrocuted.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
