Firefighting Instructions: Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. In case of leaking gas fire, eliminate
all ignition sources if safe to do so. Do not allow run-off from firefighting to enter drains or water courses – may cause explosion
hazard in drains and may reignite on surface water. Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers. In case of major fire and
large quantities: Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion.
Protection During Firefighting: Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and low molecular weight hydrocarbons.
Reference to Other Sections
Refer to section 9 for flammability properties.
