Detailed Solution

Fire can be effectively put out by water when wood or paper is on fire but oil or petrol fire cannot put out by water.
In the case of fire, it can effectively be put out by water when wood or paper is on fire because wood and paper do not conduct electricity, so it is safe to put water in these types of combustible substances.
On the other hand, fire cannot be put out by water because they are lighter than water. So they float on water and keep burning.
