Why does water put out burning wood?
The burning wood needs heat and oxygen as fuel. When burning wood has heat it has energy and water can quickly deprive the wood of its energy. When water comes in contact with the burning wood it takes the heat and the water turns into water vapor, a gas. The gas rises, and therefore, the heat is quickly taken from the burning wood. This is all due to water having a low boiling point. Imagine pouring water on the burning wood. Steam and smoke is produced, which is the water taking the heat into the sky, extinguishing the fire.
