Which of the following actions is NOT recommended in case of a fire?

Using water on an electrical fire is not recommended because water is a conductor of electricity and can lead to severe consequences, including electrical shock to the person attempting to extinguish the fire and the potential for the fire to spread. Electrical fires typically involve energized electrical equipment or wiring, and applying water can exacerbate the situation by making it worse and increasing the risk of injury. Instead, specialized fire extinguishers, such as Class C extinguishers that are designed for electrical fires, should be used.

In contrast, sounding an alarm, evacuating the area, and reporting the fire to the fire department are all critical actions that help ensure safety and facilitate an effective response. Sounding an alarm alerts others to the danger, while evacuating helps to remove individuals from harm’s way. Reporting the fire ensures that professional firefighters can arrive quickly to handle the situation safely and effectively.
