You might avoid a grease fire by preventing the grease/oil from reaching its ignition point and by keeping it from boiling over onto a source of ignition (e.g., a hot flame).

What action to take on a cooking fire?
If the fire is in a pan, the best action is to put the lid on it. Never pour water on a grease fire, as this will splash the grease and spread the fire. Baking soda will also put out fires. Of course, if the fire is too large to safely fight yourself, you should evacuate the house and call the fire department.
Should you use a fire extinguisher to put out a grease fire?
Yes, a fire extinguisher works on a grease fire. What you have to avoid with grease fires is throwing water on them, because the burning grease will just float on the water and will be splashed around as the water heats and vaporizes, spreading the fire, rather than being put out. But the carbon dioxide based fire extinguisher doesn't have that problem.
What can be a problem when you cook on grills full of grease?
Sometimes the grease build up on a grill will flare up and burn off. Depending on where the grease is in the grill, it could burn the food you're cooking. The amount of grease there determines how long it will burn. You should never leave a grill for long, and always keep an eye out for fire.
