Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Why? Yes, because adding water to burning oil vaporizes the water, causing volume expansion of the water molecules inside hot oil, thus spreading the oil further.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water is heavier than oil. So when it is poured on an oil fire, it sinks to the bottom where it evaporates due to the heat of the fire and thus expands rapidly due to which it may push and splatter fire in all directions. Fire due to oil can be extinguished by using a dry chemical fire extinguisher.
