Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material. Water is 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. Every molecule is fully oxidized. It’s also a common byproduct of fire. Therefore, you can’t burn it, because it’s already burnt

    Water is also hydrogen and oxygen floating around in a sea where they are constantly switching partners. An orgy if you will.

      That’s why you’re called a seaman when you go out floating in the ocean.
