Water should never be used to fight which type of fire and why?
Water should never be used to fight an electrical fire. It could potentially cause an explosion or cause you to become electrocuted.
Why do electrical devices dont work when soaked in water?
Water is a good conductor of electricity. The entire device is short-cicuited.
What kind of device is used to convert moving water to electrical energy?
Hydro-electric turbine
Why you have to make sure of your hands are dry when i am using electrical equipment?
Water on hands could conduct electricity into your body if there is short circuit in the electrical device.
What type of extinguisher should be used on an electrical fire?
A water-type or water-based foam type of extinguisher should not be used on an electrical fire because water and foam are electrical conductors and could result in electrocution of the person using the extinguisher or anyone stepping in the water.
Should a gasoline or electrical fire be put out by water?
Neither a gasoline or electrical fire should be put out by water. A gasoline fire should be put out by a fire extinguisher labeled A B C. An electrical fire should first have the power switched off. Then the fire extinguisher should be used.

Never ever even think of fighting electrical fires with water. Somebody (probably you) will likely get electrocuted.
Why we should never handle electrical appliances with wet hands?
Because water is a conductor, and water dripping from your hands may drip down to an energized circuit, and effectively create a trail from that circuit to your hands, causing you to get electrocuted.
