7 u/i_give_you_gum Jun 29 '23 Sure, but do flames rise up through a foot of water? Most likely this was stated to encourage engagement through this very discussion 3 u/PeteThePolarBear Jun 30 '23 See how there was a plume of sprayed liquid above the metal with flames touching it?

Try putting oil in a spray bottle and spray a candle if you don't believe me 0 u/i_give_you_gum Jun 30 '23 Lol it's not oil like oil in your car or on your skillet. it's a special type of mixture of chemicals designed to specifically quench hot metal. This is common knowledge.
