If you've ever seen a magnesium engine or transmission case
burn, it is quite a show.
And, when the fire department doesn't have foam in their
truck, the only thing they have is water.
LOTS of water will put out burning magnesium, but will cause
a white-hot explosion at first, the firemen have to have the
high temperature suits to get away with it.
I've seen a VW microbus go up, and they only had one tiny
foam can. The foam knocked it down for a few seconds quite
nicely, but then when they hit it with water it looked like
a 4th of July display gone wrong!
