Question

Can you put off a fire due to electric short circuit by using water? Why?​

Answer 1

water is a good conductor of electricity and trying to put off short circuit can cause electric shock and death

Answer 2

Answer:

Mostly not, because a fire started due to electric circuit needs something to cut the oxygen supply like sand/ fire extinguisher. water does serve the purpose but water enriches the electricity leading to more fire. thus water shall not be used to put off a fire due to electric short-circuit.
