It is dangerous to use water to extinguish fire from electrical sources, such as an LPG dispenser or Electronic Control Panel.

This is because water is a good conductor of electricity, and will draw and retain electrical current from electrical sources as it flows; which will lead to fatal electric shock to anyone that comes in contact with the 'charged' water.
