Just ask any firefighter and they will tell you that magnesium fires are not a joke and they can lead to serious injury and destruction of property. Magnesium is a metal fuel that is becoming increasingly common in our daily lives. Generally, there is not enough magnesium in our devices to constitute a threat, but when you get enough of it in one place, accidents can happen.
This is when the magnesium fires start. The fight against these fires is extremely difficult because you can not use water to extinguish. In fact, water is simply worse. magnesium fire burns so hot it actually causes water molecules to break up into their constituent parts, which can then Combustion.
As a demonstration, I present the St. Louis Fire Department try to extinguish a magnesium fire.
Well, it's absolutely terrifying. Now I am doubly uncomfortable with the fact that I live so close to an industrial park.
