According to the FireRescue1 community, an official partner of the International Fire Chiefs Association, small fires should be snuffed out by placing a fitted lid on the enflamed pan, or dousing with salt or baking soda, strictly.While water or fanning may seem like natural fire deterrents, both can actually augment the blaze in event of a grease fire.
