A dry powdered fire retardant composition for mixing with water on-site for elimination of corrosion inhibitors required if pre-mixed and stored. The composition includes a gum and a fire retardant salt. The gum is a dry powdered guava fruit gum which is extremely hydroscopic for mixing on-site. The fire retardant salt is a dry powdered mono-ammonium phosphate. The composition further includes dry powdered 1-3% bicarbonate of soda for adding additional insulating properties. The method of making the dry powdered fire retardant composition includes the steps of putting the dry powdered guava fruit gum in a mixer, putting the dry powdered mono-ammonium phosphate in the mixer, and mixing the dry powdered guava fruit gum and the dry powdered mono-ammonium phosphate evenly in the mixer.
