They occur mostly by old fashioned chip pans which are oil in a saucepan with a basket sitting in it heated over gas or an electrical hot plate. The reason they happen is that when the oil gets too hot it goes on fire. With these old fashioned pans there is no way to regulate the heat. New electrical chip pans have thermostats in them so the heat will turn off when it reaches the required temperature.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Can a stored pressure water extinguisher be used to extinguishing all types of Class B fires.?
Certainly not ! Class B fires include petrol/oil fires as well as grease (chip pan) fires. Using a water extinguisher will not extinguish these types of fires because - since the flammable substance will float on water - it simply heats the applied water, turning it to steam - resulting in an explosive 'cloud' of burning vapour.

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
What scientific thing is removed when you put out a chip pan fire?
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.
How long do you cook chips in the chip pan?
6-8 minutes.
Can you use a fire blanket to put a chip pan fire out?
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.
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 are electrical fire and chip pan fire treated differently?
coz the chip is sumthing you eat and fire is wen u heat it
What are problems with oil?
it is the reason why pan fires happen. LOL I like Cats....
Is 'fat' solidifying in a chip pan is it a chemical reaction?
No, the fat solidifying in a chip pan is a physical change, not a chemical reaction. The change from liquid fat to solid fat is due to the cooling of the fat, not a chemical transformation.
What is the common use for a chip pan?
A chip pan is used for deep frying. Most commonly they are used for frying chips (french fries) but are rapidly being replaced by deep fat fryers due to safety concerns.
