Do not use water! Foam is best, carbon dioxide is next best, smothering with sand is the the last best. You need to cut off the oxygen (air) supply that the flames feed off. Using water would simply spread the flames around. If the fire is small, a damp cloth thrown over the flames would probably do - which is best to use if a chip pan goes on fire (after switching off the heat, of course).
