Section 5. Fire-fighting measures
Contact supplier immediately for specialist advice. Move containers from fire area if this
can be done without risk. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. If
involved in fire, shut off flow immediately if it can be done without risk. If this is
impossible, withdraw from area and allow fire to burn. Fight fire from protected location
or maximum possible distance. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode. For
incidents involving large quantities, thermally insulated undergarments and thick textile
or leather gloves should be worn.

Accidental releases pose a serious fire or explosion hazard. No action shall be taken
involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas.
Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk
through spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources. No flares, smoking or flames in
