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

Are you saying hydrogen doesn’t burn because it doesn’t produce carbon?
It has to release carbon from chemical bonds to be burning, yes. This was from my old chemistry teacher back in the 1990s. Judging by the other reply about wiki it seems the definition has moved on.
