Do not use water! Foam is best, carbon dioxide is next best, smothering with sand is the the last best. You need to cut off the oxygen (air) supply that the flames feed off. Using water would simply spread the flames around. If the fire is small, a damp cloth thrown over the flames would probably do - which is best to use if a chip pan goes on fire (after switching off the heat, of course).
Neither a gasoline or electrical fire should be put out by water. A gasoline fire should be put out by a fire extinguisher labeled A B C. An electrical fire should first have the power switched off. Then the fire extinguisher should be used.
Gasoline and propain
Water should not be used to extinguish a gasoline fire because the gasoline will stay on top of the water which can spread the fire quicker. The best thing to use is a fire extinguisher.
Smother it- cutting off the air from the fire.
True, you should not try to put out a gasoline or diesel fire with water. This would make the fire spread. Smother the fire with something non-flammable such as a safety blanket, or use a proper fire extinguisher.
Burning liquids- grease, gasoline, etc.
A foam extinguisher.

if you pul fuel (gasoline) on a fire, it will make it a lot bigger. So if someone says you "put fuel on a fire" it means that you are making a problem bigger or worse.
your moms ballsac is on fire put it out with gasoline
No but you can use sand. If you have some lying around.
