Why is it important to use the correct fire fighting equipment for electrical and non electrical?
It is important because fire equipment that has not been rated for electrical fire use may conduct electricity and electro-fry the user, whereas equipment such as electrically rated fire extinguishers (class C) will not conduct electricity, therefore keeping the operator safe. If you want more information on fire extinguishers such as different types and which instance to use them I have provided a link with this post.
Why is it important to use the correct fire fighting equipment for Electrical and Non electrical fires?
Water conducts electricity and is therefore contraindicated for use on energized electrical equipment, however it is much cheaper than the chemicals that can be used on energized equipment making it more economical when water is able to be used. Similarly water should not be used on grease fires as it will spread out the grease and the fire rather than smothering it.
Why is special fire fighting equipment needed for electrical and non electrical fires?
Water conducts electricity and is therefore contraindicated for use on energized electrical equipment, however it is much cheaper than the chemicals that can be used on energized equipment making it more economical when water is able to be used. Similarly water should not be used on grease fires as it will spread out the grease and the fire rather than smothering it. Water if pure without contaminants does not conduct . Having stated that electrical fire can hardly be contained by water since the air itself will conduct electrons by ionization. So to contain an electrical fire a the oxygen must be removed and water will not do that.
What non-living things are present in the house?
Kitchen equipment, furniture, electrical goods, decorations etc.
What fire fighting equipment do you use for nonelectrical fires?
Extinguishers rated Type A which can be water based. These are not effective (and cause more harm than good) with B and C fires which are chemical ( such as gasoline fuels, and electrical- these must be snuffed out with Co-2 or other non-water-based extinguishers. an all-purpose fire extinguisher- equally effective on A B and C blazes, has yet to be developed but some are primarily for BC fires ( gas, chemical electrical) with SOME effect on class A blazes- which are normally dousable with Water. Contact a fire-extinguisher manufacturer or supplier for more info- fire prevention is a matter for us all.

If Water is non compressible fluid how pressure will be developed in water in pipeline then How pressurised water kept in pipline in fire fighting system?
The kinetic energy of the water is being converted into pressure energy and thus pressurised water kept in pipeline in fire fighting system.
