Detailed explanation-1: -Smother the fire by sliding a lid over the pan. Turn off the burner. For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed. For a microwave fire, unplug or cut off the power and keep the door closed.
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: -If you have a fire in the microwave oven, turn off the oven immediately and unplug the power cord if safe to do so. Do not open the door of the microwave, simply wait till the fire suffocates, never open the door until you are absolutely sure the fire is out.
Detailed explanation-4: -If the fire is small, cover the pan with a lid and turn off the burner. Throw lots of baking soda or salt on it. Never use flour, which can explode or make the fire worse. Smother the fire with a wet towel or other large wet cloth. Use a fire extinguisher.
