Yes If You Want The Fire To Go Out.
But NOT for oil or fat fires - any water entering a burning fat container will explosively boil and eject a large quantity of boiling, burning fat!
There is a concept called The Fire Triangle. A fire must have Fuel, Air, and Heat. Removing any one of these will stop the fire.
Water is commonly used to cool a fire, but as above is inappropriate where oil or fat is involved. There you'll remove the Air, by spraying with CO2 or carbonate powder.
