Answer:
Water is a good conductor of electricity. If we spray water on electric appliances during fire accident, it conducts electricity and gives us a shock.
Oil is less denser than water. In fire accidents due to oil, if we spray water, it will settle down due to more density and allow oil to fire continuously.
