I actually posted this question. I'm in Fire Academy, and it's something we've been given to research. I know about water smothering the fire and creating steam and blah blah blah... I'm looking for something more technical. Maybe a checmical reaction diagram or something??? Any help is HUGELY appreciated! :)
It is actually a joke, it's a fire boat. I got it in fire academy too.
Water puts out fire by cooling the flames and cutting off the oxygen supply to the fire. Water does not contain anything specific in it that extinguishes fire on water, it is mainly its properties and ability to absorb heat that help in putting out the fire.
Water puts out fire by removing the heat (converting the water to steam) and by raising the ignition temperature of the wet fuel. It takes a lot more heat to burn a wet sponge than it does to burn dry straw.
Because fire is a chain-reaction, if enough heat is removed, the fire will stop.

What happens when you pour soda on a fire?
heat causes the 'soda' (sodium bicarbonate) to release carbon dioxide which displaces oxygen and puts out the fire.
Why does fire not burn in water?
Fire feeds on oxygen, and water does not have much of it.
What process puts water in the atmosphere in the water cycle?
The process that puts water in the atmosphere in the water cycle is called evaporation. This is when water from bodies of water, such as oceans, lakes, or rivers, heats up and turns into water vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere.
How does fire affect water?
Water doesn't always make fire worse. If you get a candle light on fire and pour a bucket of water on it, it will stop burning. Fire can make the water evaporate if you pour too little water onto a blaze of fire. Technically, it depends on how much water you use.
When was Fire Water Burn created?
Fire Water Burn was created in 1996.
Why is Fire Weak to Water?

Who puts out fire?
firefighters
Why do firemen use water?
Firefighters use water to extinguish fires because water absorbs heat from the fire, cools it down, and eventually puts it out. Water can also help to remove oxygen from the fire, which is essential for combustion. Additionally, water can help to prevent the fire from spreading to other areas.
What is in fire extinguishers that puts out fire?
Fire extinguishers commonly contain water under pressure, compressed carbon dioxide, foam, or specialized dry chemicals, depending on the type of fire they are designed to put out.
How water is useful as fire fighting agent?
Water has several properties that make it ideal for firefighting. First, it cools the fire, which by reducing the heat, puts out the fire. Second, water at that temperature turns immediately into steam and expands. Because steam has more surface area than a stream of water, it cools the fire faster.
What fire extinguisher puts out a generator fire?

What puts out a fire?
