Would you know what to do?
A grease fire starts in your kitchen.
What’s your first move?
Remember: Never pour water on burning oil or grease—it can violently spread the fire.
If it’s safe, turn off the heat and cover the pan with a metal lid or baking sheet. For a small fire, baking soda may help. Use a Class K extinguisher where available. If the fire is spreading or you can’t control it safely, get out and call the fire department.
