Answers

Answered by ruby932

Explanation:

For fires involving electrical equipment and inflammable material like petrol, carbon dioxide is the best extinguisher. Carbon dioxide being heavier than oxygen, covers the fire like a blanket. Since, the contact between the duel and oxygen is cut off, the fire is extinguished.
