Sprinkler systems used in buildings to put out fires quickly use water.
You should put different things on a fire depending on what is causing the fire. Water is good for fires with nonmetallic combustible sources such as paper or wood. For electrical, grease, or metallic fires you will need fire extinguishers made for those types of fires.
Because water is better to use to put out fires than sand.
The large majority of fires can be put out safely with water. The exceptions are electrical, grease, or some super heated metals.
there is a specle fire extinguisher that is for elecrical fires ... DONT USE WATER
there are many types of fires like- forest fires, fires related to electric switches and equipment's etc.in a forest fire we must use water and in a fire related to switches and equipment's we should not use any water as we can get an electric shock so we must use co2 gas for it . if it is a oil fire then we cannot use water because oil is lighter than oil.
Not all fire extinguishers will put out all fires. You must check your fire extinguisher to make sure that is equipped for all fires since different fires must be put out different ways.
Extinguishing media refers to substances or methods used to put out fires. Different types of fires may require specific extinguishing media, such as water for Class A fires, dry chemical for Class B and C fires, or carbon dioxide for electrical fires. It is important to use the correct extinguishing media to effectively and safely extinguish a fire.

Put water on it. I'm not kidding.
Water, foam, powdered chemicals like sodium bicarbonate
In theory, massive amounts of water will put out most fires. However, there are several kinds of fires where the use of water will either not work or will spread the fire or cause other hazards. For example, using water on a magnesium metal fire could result in the water itself burning, creating a hydrogen and oxygen explosion.
