Magnesium burns under water and is used for such as under water flares and
welding applications. Short of sticking it in liquid nitrogen I don't think
that it can be put out.

Has anyone, um, tossed one of these on a bonfire, just to see what would
happen? Sort of like the vacuum cleaner blowups taken to the next level.
I've seen magnesium burn, and it's rather intense. Not sure you can put out
a magnesium fire...
Just wondering....
