most apartment complexes have them in the central hallways for use in case of such, but I think I have seen extinguishers at Metro |

B&Q or Metro are the best bets, but you should google or youtube up some grease fire 'what to do' videos - it's surprising what you'll find (not intuitive). |

NEVER, EVER, use a fire extinguisher on a grease fire.
It will simply blow hot flaming grease around the kitchen.
A wet towel draped over the pot or fry pan should smother the fire. |
