>Magnesium fires are extremely difficult to bring under control, and >really are best left to the professionals. That is true -- except many so-called professionals do not know what to do in those situations. First, imagine yourself as a firefighter rushing to the scene of a burning vehicle. What do you first? Do you get out your trusty chemical tester and start performing tests for magnesium? Or, does the firefighter immediately recognize a "magnesium fire?'" There is science, and there is the grim reality of human limitation. Just my experience. HK |
