Question

Water is used to extinguish all types of fire. ( true/ false)
​

Answer 1

Answer:

APWs are designed for Class A (wood, paper, cloth) fires only. Never use water to extinguish flammable liquid fires. Water is extremely ineffective at extinguishing this type of fire, and you may, in fact, spread the fire if you try to use water on it. Never use water to extinguish an electrical fire.

Answer 2

Water is used to extinguish all types of fire is a false statement.

Water can be used to extinguish the fire which involves flammable solids such as wood paper or plastics.

Explanation:

• Water is a good fire extinguisher
• It cannot be used if electrical equipment is on fire because it conducts electricity
• It does not work well if the fire is caused by inflammable materials like oil and petrol
• water is heavier than oil and hence it sinks below and oil burns at the top.
• It is a good conductor of electricity.
