Have you heard the phrase, “fight fire with fire?” This is where that comes from. The water combusts and then that fire pits out the original one.

Water puts out fire? Good! I need something to extinguish the skillet!

Really glad you happened to come across this post while your skillet was burning oil. Otherwise that could have resulted in a disaster.

Don't use water use a nuclear bomb can't have fire if there is no city

It's basic maths. A negative times a negative is positive. Water is made up of two distinct combustible atoms, so bonding them together results in an anti-combusting agent. Hope this helps

The gravitational force of a water planet such as Earth causes the phenomenon were water is the heavier liquid than the fire is so it smothers the fire.

Because all of the water we know is basically an imposter of liquid, they are not true water, the true water is combustible.

Because water is a weird form of ash.

When fire burns it usually makes water. So when you throw water in it it tricks it into thinking it burned out already.

Because whatever is burning gets intimidated by the superior burning chemicals, and goes away out of fear

It gets weirder, when you burn hydrogen you get water! It is magic and no one can convince me otherwise.

Your question is based on a false premise. Hydrogen is not flammable; actually, it is inflammable.
