Answer:

Water is not suitable to extinguish fires involving electrical equipment as wateris a good conductor of electricity and can harm those trying to douse the fire. In case of oil and petrol, water is heavier than oil so water sinks below and the oilkeeps burning. A fire extinguisher can be used in such cases.
