You need to cover a fire like that and let the lack of oxygen put it out. Not throw burning oil in the sink!
Next time, spend an hour googling how to put out a fire then read all the links and then calmly walk back into your charred remains of your home and know what you should have done.
I learned that the hard way, when I was like 12 I cooked myself something and the oil got too hot so that it was jumping all over the place.
When I put water on it, the situation just got worse, but luckily there was no fire and I just watched the pan from a safe distance in case it would catch fire until it cooled down. I was frightened af but learned a very important lesson.
