I do a series of demonstrations showing how hard it is to put out metals fires. I use magnesium as my example because of its flammable nature. Magnesium will burn in the presence of oxygen, nitrogen, water, and even carbon dioxide. In this demonstration I show how mangesium will react with, and still burn in, dry ice (carbon dioxide).
