Answer 1

We should look for a fire extinguisher, as water is a conductor of electricity, and if use water to put out the fire, we could get electrocuted (as the electric current can pass through water easily.), whereas if we use a fire extinguisher, which is made of carbon dioxide, we can easily put out the fire, as fire needs oxygen to burn.
