Chip pan fires - caused by leaving the pan on the heat until the fat starts to give off inflammable vapour - are quite common. At their open day the Tring Fire Brigade demonstrated why you should not try and put the fire out with water but rather smother it with a fire blanket. This shows the pan on fire on the top of a gas ring. Image shows what you don't want to happen.
