Fire Fighting ProceduresSuitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Advice for firefighters: Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary. Fire extinguishers containing carbon dioxide, dry powder, or foam are recommended. Flashback along a vapor trail may occur. Water should not be used, since this may cause the fire to spread, though a water spray can be used to cool containers. Use water spray, dry chemical, "alcohol resistance" foam, or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective. Ue water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. |
