Why does both cold water and boiling water stop a fire from being lit on an object? I understand that it does, but what exactly stops it?

Wood needs to be a certain temperature in order to be gaseous enough to burn, solids and liquids dont burn so it needs to be HOT. If it gets too cold it won’t have fuel and the chain reaction ends.
