Cover the pan with a lid to cut off air to the fire. Turn off the heat to the pan. LEAVE THE PAN ON THE STOVE. Most people are burned while trying to deal with that very hot pan.
You should never use a fire extinguisher on a chip pan fire because it can spread the flames and make the situation worse. Chip pan fires typically involve hot oil, which can splatter and ignite when doused with water-based extinguishers. Instead, it's safer to cover the pan with a lid or use a fire blanket to smother the flames. Always prioritize safety and evacuate if the fire is out of control.
DO NOT throw water on the pan. Quickly get a lid onto the pan; that should extinguish the flames. Turn the burner off and wait for the pan to cool.

Grease Fire!
To extinguish a grease fire, you should put a lid on the pan or use a fire extinguisher specifically designed for grease fires. Never use water on a grease fire as it can cause the fire to spread.
When you put out a chip pan fire, you remove the oxygen supply that is sustaining the flames. By covering the pan with a fire blanket or wet cloth, you starve the fire of oxygen, which is necessary for combustion to occur.
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.
Yes, you can use a fire blanket to extinguish a chip pan fire, but it must be done cautiously. Ensure the blanket is large enough to cover the pan completely and smother the flames by placing it over the pan without lifting it. Never pour water on a chip pan fire, as this can cause the flames to spread. If the fire is too large or uncontrollable, evacuate and call emergency services immediately.
Well, you might want to. Because it COULD catch on fire.
By putting the water in a pan/pot and then hold the pan/pot over the fire until hot :)
Frying-pan or chip-pan fires should be covered with a damp (NOT wet) cloth - and simply left alone for at least 30 minutes. This removes oxygen and extinguishes the flames. Using an extinguisher (which is pressurised) - may simply spread the burning oil around the area before it's effective at 'killing' the fire.
