    The reason why one should not throw wter on a chip pan fire is that water must NOT be used to put out oil-fires. There are different kinds of fire extinguishers, depending on their contents.
    Extinguishers with water are a complete different kettle of fish to extinguishers with foam.

    There are essentially four kinds of extinguishers, each with a distinct couloured stripe, and the stripe's colour describes the extinguisher's contents.

    Also, don't use water to put out an electrical fire. If an electrical appliance has caufght fire, rather turn the mains off.

    If there is am accute danger of smoke spreading, or the fire is spreading, get everyone out of the house at once, and call 999, and inform any neighbours to evacuate.
