What Wikipedia says

Strontium chloride (SrCl2) is a salt of strontium and chloride. It is a "typical" salt, forming neutral aqueous solutions. As with all compounds of strontium, this salt emits a bright red colour in flame. Its properties are intermediate between those for barium chloride, which is more toxic, and calcium chloride.
