FIRE - FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Halotron-1 is used as an extinguishing agent and therefore is not a problem when trying to control a fire.
Use extinguishing agent appropriate to other materials involved. Keep containers and surroundings cool
with water spray as containers may rupture or burst in the heat of a fire. The concentrated agent when
applied to fire can produce toxic by-products specifically hydrogen halides which can cause damage.
Avoid inhalation of these materials by evacuating and ventilating the area.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Containers may explode in heat of fire.
Special Protective Actions for Fire-Fighters
Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus as appropriate for specific fire
conditions.
