so will anything if the temp is high enough.

Gasoline seems to burn pretty good. Didn’t stop us from filling up tanks with it.

The light metal lithium, once ignited, burns in an out-of-control manner, at insanely high temperatures.

The normal means fire companies use to put out domestic fires, dousing with large quantities of water, is commonly ineffective with light metal fires such as lithium. This is because light metal fires burn so hot that they can yank the oxygen they need (to continue burning) straight out of the H2O water molecule.

And that’s the true meaning of Christmas, Charlie Brown.
