The temperature of the flue gases in a steam engine firebox can reach 1,000 °F (500 °C), at which temperature copper, from which historically most fireboxes were made, softens to a state which can no longer sustain the boiler pressure and a severe explosion will result if water is not put into the boiler quickly and the fire removed or ...

A smaller, similar reaction occurs when you try to put out a kitchen grease fire with water. The water hits the hot grease and quickly expands into a huge flame -- i.e., not what you were going for.
Diagram of a water-tube boiler. Water-tube boiler In this type, tubes filled with water are arranged inside a furnace in a number of possible configurations.
