Answer:
When attempts are made to extinguish magnesium fires with water, magnesium aggressively reacts with hydrogen gas.
An example of a magnesium compound is magnesium phosphide (Mg3P2), an odorous, grey solid.
When this compound comes in contact with water or moist air, it is decomposed and phosphine (PH3) is formed.

When exposed to steam, magnesium changes from magnesium to magnesium oxide and hydrogen. The reaction does not stop because magnesium hydroxide gets insoluble in water.
