Grease fires are the most dangerous when it comes to cooking fires and are responsible for 1 in every 5 home fire deaths. Below are some tips on how to put out grease fires. These tips could help save your or a loved one's life.

Putting Out a Grease Fire

Turn off source of heat
Do NOT pour water on it. Water and oil do not mix and when you add water it will sink right to the bottom and evaporate instantly, spreading flaming oil everywhere.
Attempt to remove all oxygen from the flame. Cover with another pot or baking pan.
If you cannot cover it, dump lots of baking soda on it.
