Yes, a fire extinguisher works on a grease fire.

To safely extinguish a metal fire using a fire extinguisher, follow these steps: Use a Class D fire extinguisher specifically designed for metal fires. Stand at a safe distance from the fire and aim the extinguisher nozzle at the base of the flames. Sweep the extinguishing agent back and forth across the fire until it is completely out. Do not use water or a regular fire extinguisher on a metal fire, as it can make the fire worse.
