Why should the hair drier and Radio not be used in a bathroom?
I am not an electrician. If you wish to have a fuller explanation, contact a certified electrician with your question. It is not that your electrical appliances should not be used in a bathroom, but used with care. As you should already know, electricity and water do not mix. You could cause harm to yourself and/or others if care is not exercised. If used in a bathroom or anywhere there is water usage nearby, these appliances should be used only with a three pronged ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) plug-in that can be reset if there is an interruption of power. While using a GFCI, its protection is not an absolute, it is only an added protection against shock or injury if an appliance comes into contact with water. Under-aged children should be supervised or well instructed before allowing them to use these appliances near a water source.

You should not leave any wire naked. You should not use low-quality and damaged wires. Don't touch any wire or socket board with wet hands/body. Don't use electrical appliances, such as hair dryers, radios, CD players, etc., near the tub or shower while bathing. Get them serviced on yearly basis. When the electric current is non-consistent,you should switch them off as they can burn/spread gases etc into the atmosphere.
Can water be used to extinguish a fire with an energized electrical source attached?
No. Although water can smother and cool the fire, using water near an energized electrical source can be very dangerous. This is because water is a very good conductor of electricity. The electrical current can travel up the water path and shock or electrocute the person using the water. In addition, the water on the ground and equipment will also become energized, potentially shocking or electrocuting anyone entering it. It only takes 60 volts to kill a person so water should be used carefully near any electrical source more than 24 volts.
