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.

Why do you not use water to put out fat fire?
You never use water to put out a fat fire, because the pouring water on burning grease or oil will not extinguish the fire. It will only cause the burning oil to splash, spreading the grease fire around.
When fires are caused by oil why can they not be extinguished by water?
Fires caused by oil cannot be extinguished by water because oil is less dense than water and floats on top of it. When water is used on an oil fire, it can spread the fire by carrying the burning oil with it and causing the fire to become more intense. Additionally, the high temperatures of an oil fire can cause the water to vaporize quickly, creating steam that can disperse the burning oil and make the fire harder to control.
