text:  First, remove the pan from its heat source. That's the first thing you do. Turn off the heat source. Your next step is to smother the flame. Don't blow on it. Don't dump water on it. Don't dump gasoline or lighter fluid. Smother it. If the fire is small enough, you could probably take care of the problem by just putting the lid on the pan, which originally she probably could have done that. Before she blew on it, she probably could have just put the lid on it, and that would have been good enough.
