Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-4: -Drain all moisture from food before dipping or adding it to hot oil, and avoid putting frozen foods in hot grease. Do not overheat the grease, and turn the burner down if you notice smoke or oil smells. Regularly have your ductwork and kitchen fans cleaned, and change air filters on a regular basis.
