How to Fight Small Electrical Fires Switch off appliance and pull out plug. Smother fire with blanket or Type C extinguisher. Never try to cool with water because water conducts electricity and can give you an electrical shock. Greasy Pan Never heat cooking oil and leave room. Keep combustibles away from stove, especially loose sleeves or scarves.
Hot grease can spatter and ignite any paper, cloth, or wood materials nearby.
In Oven Avoid letting grease build up in any part of oven. A greasy broiler can catch fire even during preheating. If there is too much fat on a piece of meat, the grease can flare up and start a fire. Never Move Pan . It will fan the fire or spatter grease.
