ION, We are members of the Y now.
IOON, I cannot find my debit card. I used it once today - can find that receipt and have confirmed online that the card has not been used since, but no luck on actually finding the card. bother.

Good question. I would say it depends on environmental factors. Is there enough fuel for the fire to keep going? Is it cold enough for the ice to melt and drown the fire, but still re-freeze?
Ice.
You have to ask yourself, who would win in a fight of fire vs water? And then extrapolate.
Also depends on quantities. A tray of ice cubes will do jack in a wildfire. OTOH, they'll handily put out a candle!
Speaking of, OMGWTF ICESTORM. The dog and I just got blown all around trying to walk in the ice rink that is Chicago. I think I'm not going out tonight after all.
(Last time he was at a track, they proudly pointed out the fire extinguishers that they'd never had to use at one of those events. J said "Oh, why did you say that?" Sure enough, they had to use them to put out his brakes.)
I once did that to a podiatrist. He was putting some sort of caustic destructive substance on my sister's nail bed so the ingrown nail wouldn't come back and I said "Isn't it nice to be a doctor that doesn't emergencies?" and that night whatever the caustic destructive substance was had gone too far and was sort of eating my Sister's toe and we had to page him. Oops.

From what I've tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire.

English major in the house.
Speaking of, OMGWTF ICESTORM.We are under warning for OMGWTF SNOWPOCALYPSE. Not, um, that we've had any snow, but It Might Happen!
The Snow Demons (summoned, as usual, by Jilli*) are only in Seattle so far.
* If we repeat it often enough, it's a fact, right?
It was 80 degrees here today.
Oh please. If I were any kind of English Major I'd have noticed before this very minute that a guy named "Frost" went with fire and written a fifteen page paper about just what that means.
