    I had 3rd degree burns he told me this before i had a hazard suit on but it still got me he treated the 3rd degree burns it burned but i didnt cry :) I never cry.I was carrying the bucket of water.

    Is this because of the immense heat causing the water to evaporate and get so hot it splits to hydrogen and oxygen?
