Sodium fire in the laboratory should not be extinguished by pouring water because sodium has a strong affinity for water. Thus, reaction between sodium and water is very violent and it results in the formation of hydrogen gas. Also, it is known that hydrogen is highly combustible therefore, it readily catches fire.
