Why does fire not burn in water?
Fire feeds on oxygen, and water does not have much of it.
Why does spraying water on fire take it out?
Spraying water on a fire extinguishes it by cooling the flames and removing heat. Water absorbs heat from the fire, lowering the temperature below the ignition point of the fuel, which stops the fire from burning. Additionally, water turns into steam when it comes into contact with fire, displacing oxygen and smothering the fire.
What is the colour of water after it burns?

Can fire catch on water?
Water does not burn because it is already burnt: it is oxidised hydrogen. However, if heated to plasma levels, the hydrogen can be separated from the oxygen and will "burn" when the oxygen is recombined with the hydrogen upon cooling.
