Detailed explanation-1: -What happens if you add water to a grease fire? Even a small amount of water dropped into a pan or deep fryer filled with burning oil will sink to the bottom, become superheated and erupt. According to the Scientific American, the reason oils do not mix with water is related to their properties.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fire caused due to oil or petroleum is not extinguished using water. Water is heavier than oil and hence it sinks below the oil, allowing the fire to keep burning. Fire from oil and petroleum is extinguished using sand or fire extinguishers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thin layers of oil on water cannot be burned. So in order to ignite and sustain the burning of oil spills, the oil needs to be confined.
