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.

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