There are special chemical fire extinguishers to deal specifically with this. I'd bet dollars to donuts this came out of an insurance exercise where it wasn't necessarily the scale of the risk, but rather the uncertainty around the risk (because of its novelty). Insurance companies are very cautious about uncertainty, even if the risk seems low.

If intense heat starts the fire, you likely need to cool it down and continue cooling to prevent reignition, while allowing the reaction to run its course. It's basically a hypergolic fuel once the cells are ruptured.
