Do NOT attempt to put water on this type of fire! Also, DO NOT open the pan, as it will add more oxygen to the fire and make it burn even harder. Simply throw BAKING SODA on top of the fire, and it will die down. Be generous.
Edit: Chances are, if the oil is burning, the pan is open, so you will need to put a lid on the pan that will sit tightly and seal off any oxygen from entering that pan. As a precaution, I would suggest having a flame extinguisher or a fire blanket in the kitchen.
Liquid
Approximately ten square feet of surface of a Class B flammable liquid fire.
Water will subside fire because the oxygen in it is bonded to hydrogen and cannot burn. However, you should not put water on a gas fire or other burning liquid because it will only spread the liquid and the fire.
Gasoline. Because it will be absorbed into the cotton(unlike water or any other liquid). The "cold effect" that it casts will nullify the heat source(smoldering cotton) and thus put out the fire. Hope this helps.
Burning liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, paint, acetone, and so on.
Water would take longer because it is a liquid. Sand would put it out faster
Because it's dangerous.Because liquid nitrogen is expensive and inconvenient.Because liquid nitrogen will instantly evaporate once it comes close to fire.
A class A extingquisher is intended to put out things that when burned, leave an ash--hence class A. They are usually some form of liquid or plain water. A class B fire is a liquid fire and using a class A extingquisher will only add volumn to the liquid that is burning making it a larger area to put out. With a class B fire you need something that will smother the fire without making it spread out even farther.
To stoke a fire is to put fuel on the fire.
a fire extinguisher can put out a fire
So more liquid spreads in a small area . This is effective because, if there is a fire , then it will be put out more quikly (B) CUZ IM A BOSS
