Generally ovens, toaster ovens, and to a lesser extent top-loading toasters are pretty good at containing fires since holding in heat is their primary job. Your best bet is killing the source of the heat and letting the fire burn out.

Source: I have lit many things on fire in ovens.

Stove-top fires are another beast, but there too as long as you're not throwing water onto flaming oil, you should be pretty safe killing the heat and trying to smother the fire with a lid.

I know this probably doesn't help you now... But maybe the next person who reads this will be a little bit more prepared.
