Methanol fires can indeed be difficult to detect because methanol burns with a nearly invisible flame, especially in daylight. This makes the fire harder to spot, which can increase the danger as people might not realize there is a fire until it’s too late. When such a fire occurs, it can lead to panic, especially in a crowd or a high-risk area, like a racing pit or industrial site. Methanol is often used as a fuel in certain motorsports, making these environments particularly vulnerable to this
