How do you put out a methylated spirits fire?

To extinguish a methylated spirits fire, first ensure your safety by avoiding direct contact with the flames. Use a fire extinguisher rated for flammable liquids (Class B) or smother the fire with a fire blanket or a heavy, non-flammable cloth to deprive it of oxygen. If the fire is small and manageable, you can also throw sand or dry powder over it. Never use water, as it can spread the fire.
