Maywood, CA Magnesium Explosion

4th Alarm fire at a recycling plant on the Vernon, Maywood, CA border line results in several magnesium explosions. This is the largest explosion sending me and firefighters running for cover. Over 100 LACOFD, Vernon, and Compton firefighters responded.

Actually it took like a month to get this clean a lot of people were evacuated near by

Doesn't magnesium produce a bunch of hydrogen and become superheated when you dowse it with water? And doesn't hydrogen explode when exposed to flame? Yeah...

I live in maywood. Surrounded by factories. Our soil is polluted. The air is polluted. These Factories go up in flames and the community suffers

For shits sake....How many times has this got to happen before firefighters everywhere know “Don’t Spray Magnesium Fires With Water”

Idiots
Mg gets the Oxygen it need from Water (H2O) and left the explosive Hydrogen left. I have lots of magnesium here too and i know it to good.
