The basic rule of an oil fire is that burning kitchen oil explodes when water is added. Since the first response to fire is to extinguish it with water, a simple oil fire in a kitchen can quickly turn into a disaster. This public service video from the British Fire Brigade is something everyone deep frying in their kitchen should see. You can find more information on the London Fire Brigade home fire safety page .
