A fire broke out in an empty lot on Haidian Road, Section 2, Anan District, Tainan City, involving metal materials. The Tainan City Fire Bureau has released critical information on how to respond to fires involving aluminum and magnesium, which burn at extremely high temperatures and react violently with water. Authorities advise against using water to extinguish these types of fires, as it can exacerbate the situation and cause explosions. Instead, specialized dry powder extinguishing agents are recommended. The bureau emphasized the importance of self-preservation, urging individuals to evacuate immediately and contact emergency services. Details on fire prevention and identifying these metals were also shared to help the public avoid such incidents. The Fire Bureau's guidance aims to equip citizens with the knowledge needed for a safe and effective response to these uncommon but dangerous fire scenarios.
