Question

spraying water is not good way of putting out an oil fire or an electrical fire. why not???

Answer 1

If water is sprayed onto an oil fire, then the oil will float to the top of the water and continue to burn. This can be very dangerous because water can flow quickly, carrying the burning oil with it and spreading the fire. In case of an electrical fire, the person spraying water might receive an electric shock and be killed. Therefore, spraying water is not a good way of putting out an oil fire or an electrical fire.

Answer 2

The fire caused by oil or electric shock should never be treated by water as water acts as a source of oxygen to the fire and it can also make the fire go more wild instead of making the fire less. Thus oil fire and electric fire should never be treated by water
