FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
General Hazard: During a fire smoke may contain the original material in addition to toxic and or irritating
compounds. Avoid heat sparks or open flame. Decomposition releases oxygen, which can intensify the fire.
Highly flammable vapors – may cause a floating fire hazard
Firefighting Instructions: For small (incipient) fires, use media such as “alcohol” foam, dry chemical, or carbon
dioxide. For large fires, apply water from as far as possible. Use very large quantities (flooding) of water applied
as a mist or spray; solid streams of water may be ineffective. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities
of water.
Firefighting Equipment: Firefighters should wear NICSH/MSHA approved self-contained, positive pressure
breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Hazardous Combustion Products: During fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to toxic and/or
irritating compounds. Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions. Nature of decomposition
products not known.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Not established
