Hello all!
I think I know the answer to this one but I can't quite figure out why. Can anyone explain please?

24a Some water set on fire, flaming endlessly (5)
?I?R?

I am assuming whole is 'some water' + LITRE
'Set on fire' is LIT but where does the RE come from?

re(d)?

Yes, flaming red hair. Ok I can go with that!

Thank you!

Thanks for that - saved me the trouble - glad I'm not alone.

I think the setter had 4 Down - SCHADENFREUDE - with this one!
