Well, ethanol could be ideal fuel for a flame-thrower.:-)

I thought you could use water to fight an alcohol fire. If the fuel was E10 or E15, then its basically a gasoline fire. I don’t know about an E85 fire.

Now this is really a bullcrap article. I’ve been a
fireman and fighting fires with gasoline that has
ethanol blended isn’t any different than gasoline
with other stuff blended. First the nuts say
it doesn’t have enough energy, the they say
they can’t put it out. Folks the ethanol bashing
is nuts. It will only promote shortages, percieved
or real. And any flammable chemical in an accident
that is a burning conflagration is hard to put out.
Should we do away with all flammable chemicals..Ed
