It is because water is a conductor of electricity and if there is a short-circuit fire and water is poured on it, the fire will rapidly spread out even more.
In addition to it, there is always a risk of electrocution when we apply water to a short-circuit fire.
It is best to cut-off the power supply completely until the flames are under control.
Water can only be useful in case of a fire that is not caused due to short-circuit problem or an electrical issue.
