5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS
Special Fire Fighting Procedures:
Water may not effectively extinguish fire; however, it should be used to keep fire-exposed
containers and surfaces cool and prevent explosive rupture. Wear full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode. Vapors
may travel long distances along the ground or floor to an ignition source and flash back.
Note: See STABILITY AND REACTIVITY (SECTION 10) for hazardous combustion and thermal decomposition
information.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions
Evacuate unprotected and untrained personnel from hazard area. The spill should be cleaned up by qualified personnel. Ventilate the
area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapors, in
accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. Warning! A motor could be an ignition source and could cause flammable gases or
vapors in the spill area to burn or explode.
Environmental procedures
For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or bodies of water. Place in a closed container
approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.
Clean-up methods
Observe precautions from other sections. Contain spill. Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite,
vermiculite, or commercially available inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry. Collect as
much of the spilled material as possible. Clean up residue with detergent and water.
In the event of a release of this material, the user should determine if the release qualifies as reportable according to
local, state, and federal regulations.
