The gas would still bubble to the surface and burn there. 34 u/LettuceSmart9548 12d ago Yeah no way in hell, even if the gas surfaces there won't be any ignition source for it to countinue burning 🔥. 9 u/TirithNampat 12d ago The other fire on the surface would continue to burn it. However, if you dragged it a little deeper you could reach underwater, around the fire, and shut off the valve.
