smother it, preferably with the lid. do NOT use water.
AnswerEither place a fire blanket or a damp tea towell over the panturn off the heat and leave to extinguish and fully cool before
removing the covering.
as stated above do not use water as this will create a fire ball
do not attempt to remove the pan until it is fully cool
as this may result in serious personal injury

because the oil in the pan will evaporate into the air with the water because of the intense heat. Instead you should use a fire blanket or a foam extinguisher.

What is a chip-pan fire?
The Stages of a chip pan fire 1. Oil gets so hot that it catches fire all by itself 2. Water is poured into the burning chip pan 3. Water is denser than oil, so it sinks to the bottom of the chip pan (shown in red). As the water touches the bottom, it is heated above its boiling point and instantly vaporizes. 4. The water vapour expands rapidly, ejecting a fireball of burning oil out of the chip pan and into the air where its surface area increases greatly and combustion proceeds much faster
How do you make a grease fire?
Throw water onto over-hot chip pan.
Why pouring water on to a chippan fire doesnt work?
The burning fat is much hotter than the boiling point of water so when you add water the water explodes into steam, shooting burning fat out of the chip pan into the air and round the kitchen. This spreads the fire. If you chip pan is on fire, turn off the source of heat. And place a damp teacloth or a lid over the chip pan leave and close the kitchen door and ring the fire brigade.
Why are electrical fire and chip pan fire treated differently?
coz the chip is sumthing you eat and fire is wen u heat it
Which of the fire triangle is removed if chip pan fire happens and is quenched per recommendation?
To put out a chip pan fireyou can not remove heat quickly enoughnor can you remove fuelSo you have to remove oxygen by smothering with a damp teatowel or cloth etc and preventing OXYGEN from reaching the fire.
Why can't you put water over a chip pan?
If there is a chip pan which is on fire, the correct way to deal with this is to wet a tea towel, ring it out and then lay it over the top of the burning pan (this excludes the air from the fire) then turn off the heat under the pan and leave it to cool. You must not throw water into the pan because the fat in the pan is hotter than the boiling point of water and this causes the water to boil and explode, throwing burning fat all over you and the room. Water over a chip pan turns a small, controllable fire into an uncontrollable inferno.
What do you do when you have a chip pan fire?
DO NOT THROW WATER on it. This will cause an explosion. Turn off whatever is heating it if you can. Dampen (not saturated) a towel and cover the pan with it, this will stop the flames. Get everyone out of the house and call the emergency service.
What sorts of fires should not be put out using water?
We must know that electrical fires and fires fueled by burning liquids should not be fought with water. Some burning metals should not be fought with water, too.
How do you boil water on an open fire?
By putting the water in a pan/pot and then hold the pan/pot over the fire until hot :)
What fire extinguisher would you use on a Chip pan?
A tight-fitting lid, a fire blanket, a box of sodium bicarbonate or salt may work, but a type ABC fire extinguisher would be best. Turn off the electric source as well. Under NO circumstances use a water-type (often class A) on a hot oil fire or on an energized electrical device.
Why must we not throw water when there is a fire in a pan?
We do not throw water on a pan fire because of oil and water do not mix together. Oil will float on the surface of water and will leave the pan before the water. The fire is not burning the water. It's using the oil for combustion.
How should you put out a chip-pan fire?
Cover the burning pan with a damp (not wet) tea towel.Turn of the heat source.Do not attempt to uncover the pan for at leat 4 hours.DO NOTAttempt to move the burning pan at any time.OrAttempt to extinguish the fire with water.In the event of any fireGet out.Call the fire brigade out.Do not return into the building until told it is safe to do so by the fire brigade.MAKE SURE ALL SMOKE ALARMS ARE WORKING.
