Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material. Water is 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen. Every molecule is fully oxidized. It’s also a common byproduct of fire. Therefore, you can’t burn it, because it’s already burnt

    There was some other thread talking about invisible fire produced by burning a particular gas… imagine getting burned and not being able to identify the source

      You’re probably referring to methanol fires! Commonly used as a fuel for things like F1 cars, iirc.
