Stove fires can be scary and unexpected but here's a few safe ways to put them out.

Non grease fire:

Carefully put a pan lid over the burner on fire to put it out. The lid keeps the oxygen from the flames thus suffocating it. Leave it on until all embers are out.

Grease fire:

Don't ever throw water on a grease fire . Instead put baking soda on it until it burns out. ( another of the many uses for baking soda!)

* keeping the inside of your burners clean will eliminate the risk of a fire.
