Call handlers heard a fire alarm in the background as they questioned the child shortly after 5pm yesterday.
The child reported his grandmother had put water on the frying pan fire.
Firefighters from Watford Fire Station raced to Arden Court, in Lockhart Road, and found the fire had already been extinguished on arrival.
The crew sent a stop message for the incident at 5.19pm.
