No, water is not an effective fire extinguisher for petroleum fires. In fact, using water on a petroleum fire can actually make the fire worse by spreading the flames and causing the oil to float on top of the water, creating a larger fire. It is recommended to use a Class B fire extinguisher specifically designed for flammable liquid fires, such as foam or carbon dioxide extinguishers, to extinguish petroleum fires.
