If a car catches fire, why can’t water be used to put it out? Some people say: The circuit short caused the oil to burn. Do not use water on a car fire.

Water cannot be used to extinguish oil fires.

Well, is this related to a circuit short?

It's mainly because of the oil...

1. Due to the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the engine block, it is prone to cracking. 2. Car fires are electrical fires and should not be extinguished with water, as this will cause gasoline to float on the surface and spread, leading to an expansion of the fire.

I’ve learned it now; I’ll know how to handle it next time:P

I think the driver in the picture wouldn’t carry a dry powder fire extinguisher.
