Its from an old Latin fable about fish convincing each other that jumping out of the frying pan is the only way to avoid certain doom. In modern times i means rushing out of a bad situation without considering the implications.
Poor old Ben jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire when he quit the job he hated to find himself homeless and unemployable

Similar to a Chinese Firedrill, but the participants run around the outside of a pub when the drill is called. The participants must then finish the remainder of their drinks once a lap is completed. Bonus points for stealing homeless people's belongings and not vomiting.
Dude, I've been working out and running a lot lately. I'm training for O'Connell's Irish Fire Drill.

This is analogous to a Chinese Fire Drill, however, it's performed strictly on St. Patrick's day or in Ireland and must incorporate a jig prior to re-entering the vehicle.
While driving to Savannah for St. Paddy's, the driver commanded an Irish Fire Drill while in standstill traffic. The onlookers applauded as the passengers performed a perfect Irish jig.
