Detailed explanation-1: -Evacuate and call 9-1-1. Turn off the heat source. Use a metal lid to cover the pot or pan. Use a fire extinguisher.
Detailed explanation-2: -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. It is dangerous to move a pan or pot of burning oil for the same reasons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Do NOT pour water on the fire! Since oil and water do not mix, pouring water can cause the oil to splash and spread the fire even worse. In fact, the vaporizing water can also carry grease particles in it, which can also spread the fire.
Detailed explanation-4: -You should never use water on Class B fires involving flammable liquids or Class C fires involving electricity.
