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.
