No, this action was not at all suitable.
This is because, if water is poured over very hot oil suddenly, then the hot oil may splutter and suddenly fall on the skin of the person, this may cause blisters and burns.
Burns from hot oil can be extremely dangerous and are very painful.
When water comes into contact with hot oil, the water immediately vaporises and causes the oil to splutter.
Instead, he must extinguish the fire by cutting the supply of oxygen to the pan, first close the flame under the pan and then immediately place a metal plate over it.
Then allow it to cool slowly.
