To effectively put out a Class D fire, use a dry powder extinguisher specifically designed for metal fires. Do not use water or other types of extinguishers as they can make the fire worse. Aim the extinguisher at the base of the fire and sweep from side to side until the fire is out. Evacuate the area and call emergency services if needed.
