This is why you always want to know where your salt is, and your fire extinguisher too.
I had a room mate do the same thing once. The flame must have been at least 4-5ft tall, hitting the ceiling. She grabbed a box of salt and started pouring it on the oil. This killed the fire rather quickly, before even a smoke detector went off or it created any damage.
