Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Material will burn in a fire. Liquid will float and may reignite on the surface of water.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use water directly on fire.
