Can condensed water on a lid cause a grease fire if it drips into the pan?

If i pick the lid up to stir, while i’m frying something, can this cause a grease fire if the water then drips into the oil? Or am i worrying pointlessly?

If you’re deep frying something, the condensed water falling into the pan can quickly change to steam, which can cause the oil to splash out of the pan possibly causing a fire. But if you are deep frying, you shouldn’t use a lid.

For anything else, there’s not enough oil in the pan and you’ll be fine
