had a mini fire in the kitchen earlier .my lad left the grill on with foil inside and burst into flames

everyone was in panic mode and as i was taking the grill plate out my lad only threw water over it making it even worse

managed to throw on floor then out through the back door burning the bottom of my foot in the process

so in hindsight think i should have taken grill plate out put onto floor and smother it with a damp cloth ?

anyone else panicked with a fire situation at home ?
