Can an engine fire be put out with water?

Answer 1

Yes, an engine fire can sometimes be extinguished with water, especially if it involves flammable materials like rubber or plastic. However, using water on fires involving oil or electrical components can be dangerous, as it may spread the flames or cause electrical shock. It's generally safer to use a fire extinguisher rated for such fires, like a Class B extinguisher for flammable liquids or a Class C for electrical fires. Always prioritize personal safety and call emergency services if the fire is uncontrollable.
