I feel dumb....

So...apparently you can't put vegetable oil on the stove and leave it on hot for a few minutes....it started smoking a bunch and I was like shit wtf...I better take it off the burner...
So I take it off and turn the fan on. Poof, it starts burning lightly, I'm like wtf, so I throw the cover on and I start seeing little bursts of flame under the lid and the oil starts popping, so I take the lid off, going, "Ok, that was a mistake." BAM FUCKING FLAMES.
I kinda paniced and dumped the oil down the drain and there was just this giant rush of fire out of the sink. Thankfully nothing caught (especially since I don't have a fire extinguisher), but my blinds are kinda melted now.
In retrospect, I think I did everything wrong I could have, short of dumping it on the floor lol.

For future reference, you use baking soda to put out grease fires.

At least you didn't try putting it out with water. 
Throw some baking soda on the fire next time that happens.

Lol if it happens again I think I'm just taking it in my yard and throwing it in the snow.

Keep an ABC extinguisher in your house. Preferably in your kitchen. Unless you simply hate your house and wish to collect insurance.

This is a excellent idea. I did this 5 years ago. I think it's time to replace it.

$10-$15 depending on size. You can find them at any hardware store or even the box stores like k-mart, wal-mart, target.
Make sure it is ABC. Replace it every 3-5 years. If you turn it upside down and do not feel powder flowing or you feel the cake thud (the powder settles over time) it needs to be replaced.
I've only had to use one once but it definitely turned what could have been a disaster into just a silly story to tell.

Flour will also put out a fire. Good thing you didnt throw water into it. Lets just be glad your house didn't go on fire. OoD

I did that before, but I made the stupid mistake of putting water on it. No harm done though, I was a quick thinker after that.
If you don't have a fire extinguisher or anything to toss on it, the thing I did worked pretty well.
I moved it to the sink, quickly, but firmly as not to spill the oil, then once the pan was in the sink (not laying in the sink, but almost) then roll the handle and turn the pot over. The oil will go down the drain, but the fire won't flare up because it will be smothered by the pot.
But really, what you're supposed to do is turn off the flame and let it burn out or smother it with the lid. Sometimes that just doesn't work though.

Also.
I was really lucky.
I was cooking dinner for my girlfriend and lucky nothing got fucked but some black marks on the roof. Got up on the counter and wiped them down, cleaned the pot, and cooked myself my meat with milk instead of oil. Didn't use oil for a while after that.

Fun huh? I used to work broiler at this joint on Bourbon street with a double deck oven and if one didn't wash the bars holding the drip pan every shift they would combust and set the drip pan on fire. Well, after kickass nights broiling steaks by dozens the drip tray which fed the drip pan would fill up and sure enough like clockwork it would burst into flames, so then one would have to pull it out and throw the whole thing on the floor and throw salt or flour on it.
Anyway one night some dildohead who obviously had never read a fucking book in his life started throwing water on the flames as soon as I pulled the rack out and the flames spread all over the kitchen - inn the middle of service - we were so busy we didn't even stop to put them out for a full minute. During Mardi-Gras.
So let this be a lesson to you.
