Does fire go with water?
"Water puts out fire mainly because it's a really good heat sink," Sara McAllister, a fire combustion and behavior expert at the U.S. Forest Service's Missoula Fire Sciences Laboratory in Montana told Live Science. "It's really good at absorbing heat."
What happens when fire and water connect?
A fire requires three things: heat, fuel, and oxygen. When you spray water onto a fire, the water phase-changes to steam, absorbing heat. The water that remains liquid also absorbs heat and carries it away. There's also a secondary effect of preventing oxygen from reaching the fuel, smothering the fire.
What will happen if fire and water mix?
These two substances do not combine to create something new; instead, they can be used together to control or extinguish a fire, as water can help to cool and suffocate the flames by removing heat and oxygen.
What happens when fire reacts with water?
Water cools and smothers the fire at the same time. It cools it so much that it can't burn anymore, and it smothers it so that it can't make any more of the oxygen in the air explode. You can also put out a fire by smothering it with dirt, sand, or any other covering that cuts the fire off from its oxygen source.
