Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Water spray. Alcohol resistant foam.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media

Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than
air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard
indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
