Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -What happens if you add water to a grease fire? Even a small amount of water dropped into a pan or deep fryer filled with burning oil will sink to the bottom, become superheated and erupt. According to the Scientific American, the reason oils do not mix with water is related to their properties.
Detailed explanation-2: -You should never use water on Class B fires involving flammable liquids or Class C fires involving electricity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Never use flour or water to extinguish a cooking fire. Flour is combustible and water can spread the fire. Never attempt to carry a burning pan out of the kitchen area; severe burns could result and the fire could spread.
