Detailed explanation-1: -Should a pan catch on fire, first, remove the pan from the heat. If safe, turn off the burner or move the pan to a cold burner. Then place a pot/pan lid over the burning grease to smother the flame or use a fire extinguisher. NEVER PUT A BURNING PAN IN THE SINK OR SHOWER AND DO NOT SPRAY WATER ON IT!
Detailed explanation-2: -Water Makes Grease Fires Worse 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: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Don’t tackle the fire yourself and don’t try to move the pan. Never throw water over a fire as it could create a fireball. Turn off the heat – but only if it’s safe to do so. Leave the room, close the door, shout a warning to others, and call 999.
