2. COVER THE PAN WITH A FIRE BLANKET OR DAMP CLOTH,
this will smother the flames and extinguish the fire.
3. LEAVE THE PAN TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 60 MINUTES
BEFORE MOVING IT. Injuries are often caused by picking up a
hot pan and rushing outside with it.
NEVER USE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER TO PUT OUT A PAN FIRE
