Detailed explanation-1: -A grease fire happens when your cooking oil becomes too hot. When heating, oils first start to boil, then they’ll start smoking, and then they’ll catch on fire. Most vegetable oils have a smoking point around 450°F, while animal fats like lard or goose fat will start smoking around 375°F.

Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, burning grease is incredibly harmful. Contact with skin can lead to severe second or third degree burns. Never douse a grease fire with water. It will splatter and may burn your skin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Don’t ‌extinguish a grease fire with water or a wet towel. Don’t use flour, baking powder or sugar to ‌smother the fire. Don’t ‌remove the pan from the burner or place it in the sink. The oil may splash around and potentially burn you.

Detailed explanation-4: -Yes, though cooking oil does not catch fire on its own at room temperature but if is heated a little, it catches fire. That is why when cooking oil is kept on the burning stove for long, it reaches its ignition temperature and starts burning.
