caused by petrol, diesel etc etc. the reason being that these oils are lighter that water, therefore water will form a layer below the oil and they will continue to burn. one should use sand or extinguisher

electric fires should specifically not be put out by water since water is a good conductor of electricity. thus if water is thrown over a live wire ,the whole puddle of water becomes a carrier of current and if someone steps into the puddle he or she will get an electric shock even if hes not in contact with the wire

Oil, because water will spread the fire
electrical, water is a good electrical conductor.
