Allow fire to burn itself out using high volume water supply to coolheat-exposed pressure containers and nearby equipment. Approach a flame envelopedcontainer from the side, never the head ends. Use extreme caution when applying water to acontainer which has been exposed to heat or flame for more than a short time. Foruncontrollable fires and when flame is impinging on container, withdraw all personnel andevacuate vicinity immediately. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus in the positive pressure modewith a full facepiece when there is a possibility of exposure to smoke, fumes or hazardousdecomposition products.
Uncontrolled vapors spread rapidly, are heavier than air and areextremely flammable.
Incomplete combustion may yield carbon monoxide, a toxic gas. Use local and dilution ventilation to maintain exposures below acceptable criteria. Appropriate precautions must be taken regarding flammability. Avoid skin contact with liquid because of possibility of freeze burn. Wear gloves and protective clothing which are impervious to the product for the duration of the anticipated exposure.
