If a pot of oil catches fire on the stove, turn off the stove and slide a lid across the top of the pot to cover it. Do not move the pot because there is potent...ial to spread the fire or to be burned. NEVER throw water on it. This will only increase the size of the fire. If you are not sure if you have the fire out or if it has reached the cabinets or walls in your home, call 911 immediately. Have the fire department ensure that the fire is completely extinguished.
