I always wanted to get a hold off magnesium strips when I was a kid.
Fortunately, I didn't and my parents were able to sell the house in one
piece.

Fire:
Autoignition temperature: 473C (883F)
When heated in air to a temperature near its melting point, magnesium may
ignite and burn. Dangerous in the form of dust or flakes, and when exposed
to flame or by violent chemical reaction with oxidizing agents. Magnesium
may react with moisture or acids to evolve hydrogen gas, which is a highly
dangerous fire or explosion hazard.

Explosion:
Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence
of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard. Minimum
explosible concentration 0.030 grams/liter. Water used on molten magnesium
will produce hydrogen gas and may cause an explosion.

Fire Extinguishing Media:
Use metal extinguishing powders such as G-1® graphite powder, Met-L-X®
powder, powdered talc, dry graphite, powdered sodium chloride, soda ash, or
dry sand. Warning! Do not use foam, chlorinated products such as Halon®,
carbon dioxide, or water to extinguish magnesium fires, because dangerous
reactions will occur. Use of water on molten magnesium will produce hydrogen
gas and may cause an explosion.

Special Information:
In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved
self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the
pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Fire fighters should
protect their eyes and skin from flying particles. In order to prevent eye
injury, do not look directly at magnesium fires.
