Answer:

$Water - Fire Extinguisher$

Water is also not used for fires caused by oil and petrol because water is heavier than oil and sinks below the oil. The oil floats on water and keeps burning.

Answer 2

Answer:

Pure water is not a conductor of electricity. But when it get mixed or dissolved with other materials, it becomes a conductor of electricity. Petroleum products and oils have lesser density and float on water. The fire will keep burning and even get worse. So fire extinguishers or sands are used to extinguish electrical fire.
