Answer:

Water is a conductor so will not extinguish an electrical fire.

Explanation:

Water is not used for extinguishing fires caused due to electrical faults because water is good conductor of electricity. If water is poured on an electrical fire ,the water could conduct electricity causing the person trying to extinguish the fire to experience an electric shock. Oil floats over water and thus oil fires cannot be extinguished using water. Water flows on and it has the risk of spreading the fire along. In case of electric fires water cannot be used as an extinguisher. It being a good conductor of electricity, puts the life of the man spraying it in danger. Trying to extinguish a fire with the wrong method can be dangerous and make the situation worse. ... Water does not extinguish Class B fires and can spread the flammable liquid, making it worse. You must only put out these fires with powder, foam, or carbon dioxide extinguishers to cut off the fire's oxygen supply
