what kind of fires cannot be put out by water ? give reason
Answers
Explanation:
Some fire cannot be put out with water. 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 and spreading the fire.
Answer:
petrochemical and electric fire
Explanation:
As water is heavier than petrol therefore slips down permitting the petrol to rise to the surface and continue to burn. Besides, the existing temperature is so high that the water poured on the fire evaporates even before it can extinguisher the fire. The latter is true if small quantity water is poured. Thus the petrol fire cannot be extinguished by water.
You should never throw water on an electrical fire because water conducts electricity and you could be electrocuted. ... If you don't have a fire extinguisher, you can use baking soda to extinguish an electrical fire.
