Explanhowwaterisusedto extinguish fire |

Answer» Water does not, in general, help extinguish a fire. TYPICAL fires, HOWEVER, can be successfully attacked using water ALONE, as it can cool the FUEL at the base of the fire or generate a vapor barrier between atmospheric oxygen and the hot fuel. Water can accelerate liquid hydrocarbon fires by dispersing fuel. |
