taking a guess - they just put it out like any fire, once magnesium burns it just becomes magnesium oxide, which isn't very reactive
wait, why do you need to know - you aren't gonna burn something now, are you?

I'm not some homicidal maniac. :lol:
well magesium fires require oxigen to burn so if you take away its oxygen source the fire would die
carbon dioxide seems to be the logical choice for fire fighting
water is bad cuz it produces hydrogen gas and may explode in your face
