Detailed explanation-1: -If a fire starts in the oven, turn off the heat and keep the door closed. This will deprive the fire of oxygen, causing the flame to extinguish on its own.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oven Fire – What to do Leave the oven door closed! Turn off the oven and allow the fire to burn out on its own. If it does not go out on its own, leave the house and call 911. If it does go out, then open your windows.
Detailed explanation-3: -Putting Out an Oven Fire Most of the time the fire will burn itself out since it isn’t getting oxygen or heat anymore. Keep an eye on the oven and if the flame appears to be shrinking then just leave it be.
Detailed explanation-4: -A word of advice: If your oven does catch on fire during the clean cycle, don’t try to put it out. Even if the oven has cooled sufficiently for the door to open, doing so will allow oxygen to rush in and fuel the flames. Obviously, if it is fully engulfed, get out of the house and call 911.
Detailed explanation-5: -The best ways to smother a fire are to either cover the flames with a lid or baking sheet (especially if the fire is contained to a pan), or dumping a box of baking soda on top.
