Fire requires feul, air, heat, sustained chemical reaction. Remove one of those and the fire stops. Manage these and fire is outright prevented.
A fire will burn itself out eventually. It cannot be sustained indefinitely. In some cases it cleanses undergrowth, fertilizes soil, and renews the land.

Water is a necessity of life. It is the perfect solvent. It needs only gravity and abundance to power it. Or it’s absence. We must embrace it. We often don’t respect it. It can make things conductive. It’s presence can make itself poisonous . The absence of water is devastating, the excess is disastrous. It is dense and as a fluid. It can wipe fertile earth bare of building, life, and soil.
It can breath life and it is the stuff of nightmares. It’s time is eternal.
