Question

Why can’t water be used to extinguish fire caused due to oil or electricity?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Water is not used for extinguishing petrol fire because if we use water , the petrol will float on the water and the fire , rather than extinguishing will spread to more areas, So we should never use water for extinguishing petrol and oil fires. ... We should use Fire Extinguisher for fires in Electrical Appliances.

Answer 2

Answer:

Water is a liquid and also a good conductor of electricity. Being a liquid it has ions which are free (less than gases).

So u should not use water for extinguishing fire caused by electricity, u might get an electric shock due to it.
