Question

Suggest one method that can be used to extinguish fire caused by : (a) Electric short circuit (b) Oil​

Answer 1

1: If an electrical fire starts

If the device that is causing the electrical fire is found, and you can reach the cord and outlet safely, unplug it. 2. Add sodium bicarbonate. If the fire is small, you may put it out by smothering it with baking soda.

2: Class F fire extinguishers should only be extinguished using a wet chemical fire extinguisher. These extinguishers have been specifically developed to tackle fires involving cooking oils and fats and contain potassium salts which both cool the flames and smother the fire's oxygen content.
