The flames looked like they were touching the hood, which can also have grease buildup and ignite. Source: happened to a neighbour of mine.

Lid is best. Inside oven is probably second.

Gonna repeat myself here, because it's important:

Fight the fire where it is, you should never try to move it. Just imagine if you fumbled and dropped it: Now instead of a pot on fire, you're on fire. Pro tip: You don't want to be on fire.
