My old roommate's girlfriend lit our oven on fire. She was stoned out of her mind, and just calmly walked around the corner and said, "Hey, your oven is on fire, I don't know if you want to do anything about that."

I ran into the kitchen and put it out with the extinguisher that was 3 feet away from her. Some people aren't made for emergency situations.

Don't ask me how because I don't remember but my grill pan caught on fire in my oven, I lived in a 2nd floor flat so once I realised I just took it outside and left it at the bottom of the stairs. Went back inside for some water and took that down and doused the grill.

Do not put water on a grease fire

She got the problem solved while heavily under the influence of narcotics. Seems rude to call that "not being made for emergency situations".

Yeah my ex and his brother were tripping and cooking and caught the wok on fire; I was like "guys, the kitchen is full of smoke and fire" and as ex brother outlaw was a chef his muscle memory worked but not before my lunatic ex tried to pick up the burning pan with his hand. Leading to the emergency room visit that taught me just how evil for-profit healthcare is.

I put out a grease fire in an electric burner with fitted sheet, after unplugging, seemed cheaper than the fire extinguisher I had right there. My mom was super freaked about the burnt sheet tho, like it was disturbing
