There was an attempt...to put out an oil fire

Source - reddit

Don't use water to put out and oil/grease fire.

Ever...

See, if the oil is hot enough to catch fire, it's hot enough to boil any added water.

Boiled water means the oil being aerosolized into tiny, incredibly flammable droplets which catch fire and turn a small fire into a raging inferno incredibly quickly - as the above video shows.

Instead, smother the fire.

Put a lid on the pot.

Put a baking sheet on the pot.
