Remember the fire triangle: Heat, Air(oxygen), Fuel. You need all three
to have fire.

In the case of a bag of kerosene submerged in the water you definitely
have fuel, you barely have heat, and you don't have air.

That said, I would personally try to choose a medium less flammable then
kerosene, that stuff burns WAY to easily.
