Answer:

When the fire is large: CO2 fire extinguisher (carbon dioxide) or Dry powder fire extinguisher (ABC). On the other hand, if we face a fast and growing fire, it gets more serious. The use of a CO2 Fire Extinguisher is almost obligated. It is not an electricity conductor, thus the best resource in these cases

extinguishers contain carbon dioxide, a non-flammable gas, and are highly pressurized. On grease fires, electrical fires - the flames will spread and make the fire bigger. Water extinguishers are filled with water and are typically pressurized with air. Electrical fires are fires involving potentially energized electrical equipment. These fires can be a severe hazard to fire fighters using water or other conductive agents, as electricity may be conducted from the fire, through water, to the firefighter's body, and then earth. Electrical shocks have caused many firefighter deaths. Thus, water extinguisher should not use for electrical fire.
