    Lithium fires need to be doused in salt to put out. Or, technically you can put out a metal fire with gasoline.

    You go from a class D fire to a class B fire, and then you can put that out as normal. But yeah, salt is better.

    Water is the last thing you want to use on class D fires, followed by CO2. Both have the oxygen ripped off by the burning metal, making the fire burn hotter.
