Manu was heating oil to fry potato chips. The cooking oil all of a sudden caught fire; he poured water to extinguish the fire. Do you think this action was suitable. If yes, why? If not, why not? In such a condition what should Manu have done?

Hint: 

• Water is not suitable for fires involving oil. 

• Manu should have switched off the flame of the burner and put a lid on the frying pan. By doing this the contact between fuel and oxygen is cut off and the flame will go off.
