Why is special fire fighting equipment needed for electrical and non electrical fires?
Water conducts electricity and is therefore contraindicated for use on energized electrical equipment, however it is much cheaper than the chemicals that can be used on energized equipment making it more economical when water is able to be used. Similarly water should not be used on grease fires as it will spread out the grease and the fire rather than smothering it. Water if pure without contaminants does not conduct . Having stated that electrical fire can hardly be contained by water since the air itself will conduct electrons by ionization. So to contain an electrical fire a the oxygen must be removed and water will not do that.

Is it true or false that electricity is a form of fire?
FALSE. (they are different forms of energy) "Fire" is a release of thermal energy from a chemical or electro-chemical reaction. The ensuing radiation can have visual components (photons) as well as infra-red radiation (heat). "Electricity" is the conductive flow of electrons through a material, medium, or vacuum. Energized electrons (current) flow into a material or device at the anode and out at the cathode.

How can you effectively put out a grease fire?
To effectively put out a grease fire, you should never use water as it can make the fire worse. Instead, turn off the heat source and cover the fire with a metal lid or baking sheet. You can also use baking soda or a fire extinguisher specifically designed for grease fires. Do not try to move the pan or pour anything on the fire, as this can cause it to spread.
What action to take on a cooking fire?
If the fire is in a pan, the best action is to put the lid on it. Never pour water on a grease fire, as this will splash the grease and spread the fire. Baking soda will also put out fires.

Yes, a fire extinguisher works on a grease fire. What you have to avoid with grease fires is throwing water on them, because the burning grease will just float on the water and will be splashed around as the water heats and vaporizes, spreading the fire, rather than being put out. But the carbon dioxide based fire extinguisher doesn't have that problem.
