What about the diesel gasoline on fire?

Answer:

For example, the fire in the pan, quickly cover the pot, you can extinguish the fire. If a small area of oil is placed on the ground, it can be covered with sand or covered with wet sacks. Using foam extinguishers and dry powder extinguishers can extinguish the fire.
Oil is very easy to catch. Oil fires are different from other substances. Water can not be extinguished by water. Extinguishing the fire with water can not only extinguish the fire, but also enlarge the fire. The proportion of trapped oil is lighter than water. Use water to extinguish oil, fire, oil floating on the surface of the water, still can continue to burn, water flows elsewhere, will spread the fire.
The burning of oil can not be used out of water, the use of suffocation fire, and if there is dry powder fire extinguishers sprayed with dry powder extinguishers, carbon dioxide gas can also, but the role is not very good. The best and most economical way to find more people is to use sand and dirt to mask the fire oil. If there is an oil tank, be sure to cool the tank to prevent high temperature explosion.
