In the spirit of how all manga will keep mentioning to use a "cats paw" while cutting stuff in the kitchen, I'll mention "don't pour water on a kitchen fire" (i.e. grease/oil fire in a pan) - use a lid and suffocate it - if you don't have a lid, use another pan or a big plate. As long as you get a pretty tight fit the fire will starve almost immediately. (Then wait until everything cools down before adding water.)
