Water is usually a PRODUCT of combustion. If a fuel containing any hydrogen is burnt in a oxygen-containing gas, the result is water. Water will oxidize hot magnesium or hot carbon to their oxides.

Underwater welding does in fact produce free hydrogen, because the molten metals are more electronegative than hydrogen:
So in high temperature processing, water can dissociate into hydrogen and oxygen, and the oxygen can participate in “combustion”. Just not as water.
