Does water actually put out fire?

    If you hover your mouse over the WATR element, it says that it extinguishes fires...
    ...but I can't seem to be able to put out 1 pixel of fire with any amount of water. (the fire just "jumps" above the water)

    Works with heat simulation turned off, though.

    Is this intentional? Or is it a bug of some sort?

    It cools the fire down, and Water/Steam slows alot Combustion, so yes

    It does, it's just the fire pushes water out of the way because of the pressure it generates.

    Yeah, one water + one fire should = none.

    No, the pressure fire gives off prevents water from touching, so the extinguishing effect doesn't seem to happen.
