Water cannot burn. It can boil and evaporate, it can also sublimate, but it cannot burn. If there were an additive auqeous substance added to the water, it could appear that the water is on fire, but it's really just the additive substance burning.

hope that helps.

Sounds as if there is oil or some other flammable, floating liquid that is actually on fire, not the water itself.

If it is greek fire: if someone added water to the fire it will burn more slowly instead of extinguished it
