Re: elements
The qualities of fire, classically (such as Greek and Semitic) is heat and dryness. Water is the opposite, wet and cold, yet it causes ignition of some fuels which become gaseous substances, potassium in water creates hydrogen gas (like how fire drives out turpenes and wood alcohol amongst other things) and potassium oxide, which is technically 'burnt' (and fire creates physical substance, ash, which cannot be burnt as it is already burnt). So is water fire?
In classical elements they is separate. If we use your definition of fire, then water is half fire.
