With a wood fire, wood gets hot. The wood turns to a gas. Oxygen from the air mixes with the gas from the wood and they create combustion. When water is added, it cools down the wood. It also turns to steam blocking oxygen from the air from getting to the wood. So water does two things. It makes the wood so it will not get hot enough to turn to gas. It stops oxygen from getting to the wood.
With an electrical fire, the source of the fire is the electric current. It causes the heat. Pouring water on it will not stop the electric current and stop the heat. It will simply give the electricity more places to go. The first thing to do in case of an electric fire is turn off the electricity.
