They should try to extinguish it... with water..

Well, if you add enough water quickly enough, it should cool down.

And if you add it slowly enough, it should go out after "just" a "short" while.

I doubt this would work. The sun runs on hydrogen fusion. Adding water is just adding fuel to fire.

Yes, but more massive stars burn out faster. And even more massive stars turn into black holes and cool down rapidly.

Well... black holes are not cool, either.

Never know until you try!

And adding more fuel to a fire make it burn hotter and faster. Largers stars die faster, so more fuel will reduce the lifespan.
