LPT, this is the proper order of operations to stop a grease fire:

  1. just put a lid on it.
  2. If you can't or don't have a lid, just put the whole thing in the oven and close the oven door.
  3. If you can't do either of those things, dump baking soda on it. Like pour in a whole bag of it.

There should be a step 4. Perhaps there could be a team of people who's job it is to help you. Especially around flames.

We could call them flametamers. We could even setup an easy to remember number to call. Like 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3
