Actually, you cannot use water to put out every fire.
If you try to use water on a grease fire or electrical fire, it will not work and make things a lot worse for you.
Putting water on burning grease or similar materials will only cause the grease to start popping and burning you,
And on an electrical fire, the electricity from the source will just put a current up the stream of water coming back to the person spraying.
Also, the same thong counts for gasoline and car fires in some cases. The gasoling will continue burning sometimes.
Not all fire extinguishers use water, a lot ofthem use a dry chemical substance, which is more effective and can be used in more scenarios. In general, silver ones will contain water, and a red is a DryChem. Always check the diamond label's letters prior to using an extinguisher.
