Answer:
Because a metal fire isn't an ordinary fire. ... In other words, putting water on these fires can be like literally feeding them more fuel. Carbon dioxide won't do the job either: while it will extinguish a regular fire by depriving it of oxygen, some burning metals can react with carbon dioxide to fuel the flames.
