FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

DRY CHEMICAL, WATERSPRAY, WATER FOG, CO2, OR ALCOHOL TYPE FOAM.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURE

DO NOT ENTER FIRE AREA WITHOUT PROPER PROTECTION. FIGHT FIRE FROM DISTANCE/PROTECTED LOCATION. HEAT MAY BUILD PRESSURE. USE WATER SPRAY/FOG FOR COOLING. AVOID FROTHING/STEAM EXPLOSION.

BURNING LIQUID MAY FLOAT ON WATER. ALTHOUGH SOLUBLE, MAY NOT BE PRACTICAL TO EXTINGUISH FIRE BY WATER DILUTION. NOTIFY AUTHORITIES IF LIQUID ENTERS SEWER/PUBLIC WATERS.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

HEAT FROM FIRE CAN GENERATE FLAMMABLE VAPOR. WHEN MIXED WITH AIR AND EXPOSED TO IGNITION SOURCE, VAPORS CAN BURN IN OPEN OR EXPLODE IF CONFINED. VAPORS MAY BE HEAVIER THAN AIR. MAY TRAVEL LONG DISTANCES ALONG GROUND BEFORE IGNITING/FLASHING BACK TO VAPOR SOURCE. FINE SPRAYS/MISTS MAY BE COMBUSTIBLE AT TEMPERATURES BELOW NORMAL FLASH POINT.
