No, you should not put water on an electric burn. Electric burns are caused by the passage of electricity through the body, and can cause deep tissue damage. Putting water on an electric burn can worsen the injury by causing an electrical shock.
Instead, it is important to follow these steps for treating an electric burn:
1. Turn off the power source.
2. Remove the person from contact with the electrical current.
3. Call 911 or seek medical attention immediately.
4. Cool the burn with a cool, damp cloth. Do not use ice or cold water.
5. Cover the burn with a loose, sterile bandage.
6. Elevate the burned area.
7. Do not give the person anything to eat or drink.
