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: -Oil is less dense than water so when water is thrown in a burning pan full of grease, it immediately goes under the grease to the extremely hot surface of the pan. This turns the water to steam instantly, not before rapidly expanding to 1700 times its original size. “That very quickly pushes all the oil out of the pan.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
