Has anyone ever heard of "high temperature electrolosis"? it is when you expose water to an extremely high temperature, enough to cause the bonds in the water molucules to come apart, seperating the hydrogen from the oxygen. That is why the say to never use water if a a car is on fire and the engine block is magnesium: it results in a huge explosion. Do you think if a firebender could get his-her flames to say, white-hot intensity, it could be vastly more devestating against a waterbender? Hell, trying to use water to counter that kind of fire would result in you going "BOOM"! You may as well be using gasoline!
