Question

fire caused by electric shock circuit should not be stopped with water why

Answer 1

Water is conductive in nature and hence the electricity in the equipment could reach the extinguisher (the person dousing the fire using water) and can electrocute him/her. To put an electrical fire out, you want to unplug or de-energise the equipment on fire.

Answer 2

The main reason is the risk of electrocution. Water is conductive in nature and hence the electricity in the equipment could reach the extinguisher (the person dousing the fire using water) and can electrocute him/ her.
