(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 melting 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 sou
