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?

I guess it could. If everything’s hot enough, and there’s enough condensate to flash off. But I’ve had it drip and drop into hot oil before and it just pops you. Might get a little flash.

Usually have to worry aboit grease fires if there’s alot of water, or frost/ice in whatever you’re cooking. Not drops.
