Relevant data（数据）shows that when the steam in the air adds up to 35% or the oxygen in the air is reduced(减少) to 17%, the fire will go out. Even the largest fire will be put out. It is clear that putting out a fire with hot water is much better than using cold water. Research shows that using boiling water to put out a fire is five times better than using hot water, and ten times better than cold water. In tests, one liter of hot water per second had the same effect as 20 to30 liters of cold water per second. If using boiling water, five firefighters can finish the work of ten using cold water. Using hot water to put out fires is very useful and should be widely used, but when putting out the fire, people must be careful not to be burnt by the boiling water.
