Vinegar is an acid and sodium bicarbonate is a base. The acid reacts with sodium bicarbonate causing the release of carbon dioxide gas. The water is probably only there to dilute the other reactants, to make it less vigorous.

What can you do that is fun with fire?

Mix Bicarb soda with vinegar then just straight after you put the vinegar in the bicarb soda put a candle over the cup. The flame goes out! AMAZING! It went out cuz the bicarb and the vinegar makes carbon dioxide which has little oxygen and fire needs oxygen so the fire goes out. WARNING: If your house goes into flames don't go up to it with your little plastic cup and put the bicarb and the vinegar mixture on the flames. lol
