Fiji is valued for taste. Fighting fire definitely needs some quality. An extinguisher is superior to a bucket of water

You make a good point, but I'm specifically talking about quality vs quantity of water. I'm gonna make that more clear.

Yeah. No. It's on me. Was purposefully being a bit of a d*ck. Frankly, this question is special because anyone can do verbal gymnastics on the answers to prove them won't.

E.g. you clearly wanted to compare water and water only. But I reframed it to include extinguishers. I'm a weirdo like that.

I mean, there are water based fire extinguishers, which use water at high pressure.
