If the fire is small try to put it out using a fire extinguisher if you have one, provided you're certain it is the right sort of extinguisher for the type of fire. If you don't have an extinguisher, or don't have the right type, use thick, heavy rugs or anything else which will cut oxygen from the fire. Never use synthetic fabrics, and never, ever use cushions or pillows, which will be filled with materials that will not only burn - and feed the fire - but will give off toxic fumes as they burn. Try to remove all flammable items from around the fire. If you can see that the fire is becoming uncontrollable, call 911 and evacuate the house if needed.
