Why do we not use water to extinguish a fire caused by kerosene?

Answer 1

hey friend here is your answer

because water is heavier than kerosene so if you use water to extinguish the fire caused by kerosene then the water will go to the base level and the kerosene will burn as is well.

hope it helps you.

Answer 2

In case of oil fires, water is not suitable for extinguishing the fire because diseal is less dense than water and will float in water. As water will spread, such the oil will spread and the fire will become more uncontrolable. Thus carbon dioxide helps to extinguish the fire by cutting off oxygen supply.
