Mixing water with any burning oil is extremely dangerous. The oil/gasoline can splash away from the centre of the original fire cashing more fires to start, burn those trying to fight the fire etc. There are liquids used that are not water based but are liquid these are mostly used for chemical fires -On small oil fires form or Co2 gas is used to starve the fire of oxygen and put it out.
