How do you put out a grease fire?

Question

I recently had a grease fire (the pan caught on fire from a little fat that spilled over the skillet - is there a safe, quick way to put out a fire like this?

Answer

I have always been told to use salt on a grease fire. My boyfriend tried to tell me to use salt water...I was like you do not use salt water on a fire it will only make it worse. He then told me to look it up if you don't believe me, so here I am. I have been reading the whole thing about baking soda.
