Section 5 - Fire
Fighting Measures |
General
Information: Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike and
collect water used to fight fire. Wear appropriate protective clothing to
prevent contact with skin and eyes. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus
(SCBA) to prevent contact with thermal decomposition products. Substance is
noncombustible.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use
water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or chemical foam.
