Yes. Pure sodium is highly flammable and a sodium fire cannot be put out with water or carbon dioxide like most fires.
Sodium reacts violently with water, often catching fire and exploding. This reaction produces sodium hydroxide, a strong and caustic base.

∙ 12y agowell sodium can be really explosive ...in fact small quantities of sodium react vigorously when reacted with water. it's highly poisonous to living things as it reacts with moisture on the skin and slowly corrodes it

∙ 16y agoif sodium mixes with water it reacts really quickly and explodes ! If it comes in contact with bare skin sodium hydroxide will form and begin dissolving through the skin
