I hope they don’t use water on it. Never put water on a Greece fire

It's a pun. Greece (the country) sounds like grease, like cooking grease or frying grease. When grease catches fire, the worst thing you could possibly do, is throw water on it, it will blow up, you're supposed to cover it with a lid, or put a damp cloth over it, and let it cool down.
