Some burning materials such as metals ,which cannot be extinguished by the use of water,may be dealt with by means of dry earth , dry sand ,powdered graphite, powdered talc , soda ash or lime stone all of which act as a smothering agent.Dry sand may also be used to prevent burning liquids. Such as paints & oils , from flowing down drains ,basements etc.
*Sand should never be used for extinguishing fires in machinery such as electronic motors.
