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.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -b. Fire caused due to oil or petroleum is not extinguished using water. Water is heavier than oil and hence it sinks below the oil, allowing the fire to keep burning. Fire from oil and petroleum is extinguished using sand or fire extinguishers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Water is heavier than oil. On spraying water, it sinks and oil floats, and the fire continues. Water is lighter than oil and it floats on the surface of the oil.
