(This video is made with the intention to show how magnesium reacts in a vehicle fire) Magnesium is considered to be in the Class D Fire category. It has a melt...ing point of 1,202 F and a boiling point of 2,024 F. When magnesium is in its metal form, it burns very easily in air. When the magnesium burns, it reacts with the oxygen to form magnesium oxide. The magnesium oxide is the bright white light you see when the magnesium is burning. In order to start the reaction, the magnesium needs a source of energy. Magnesium is reactive with water, and can be very dangerous when it reacts. The Class D extinguisher will act as a smothering agent on the metal fire. If you’re without a Class D extinguisher, it would be a good idea to stand back, open your hoseline and cool the vehicle in order to advance slowly on the vehicle to finish extinguishing. (Always do it on indirect attack) Remember, if you cool the magnesium down then it has a high potential to be extinguished. Reposted from @sweatandashes.
