Question

what are the three main ways of putting out a fire? why should you not pour water on an electrical or oil fire​

Answer 1

Answer:

The three main ways to put out fire are:-

1) By taking away the fuel. If the fire has no fuel to feed on,no burning can take place.

2) By preventing oxygen from reaching it.

3) By bringing back the temperature below 'flash point' of the fuel.

Spraying water is not a good way of putting out an oil fire or an electrical fire.If water is sprayed onto an oil fire,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 spreading the fire. Similarly,the person spraying water on an electrical fire might receive an electric shock and be killed.
