What is a water fire extinguisher used for?

Class A fires involve organic materials like paper, coal, cloth, fabrics, and wood. Please note: Water fire extinguishers should not be used on electronic fires, kitchen fires, fires involving flammable liquids, or fires caused by flammable gases. Summary: standard water fire extinguishers only work on fires involving flammable solids, but can be a good choice for some premises, such as warehouses and storage facilities.

How do water fire extinguishers work:

Water has an extreme cooling effect. When it is directed at flames, it lowers the overall temperature, making it impossible for the fire to burn.

Pros and Cons of water extinguishers:

Pros: highly cooling and so puts fires out rapidly; no negative environmental impact.

Cons: only works on one class of fire; dangerous if the water comes into contact with electrical equipment.
