❑ Liquefied Petroleum Gas (UN 1075)
☞
Extinguishing media:
Water spray. Class A-B-C or BC fire extinguishers.
☞
Special fire fighting procedures:
Stop flow of gas. Use water to keep fire exposed
containers cool. Use water spray to disperse unig-
nited gas or vapor.
If ignition has occurred and no water available, tank
metal may weaken from over heating. Evacuate
area. If gas has not ignited, LP gas liquid or vapor
may be dispersed by water spray or flooding.
☞
Unusual fire and explosion hazards:
Highly Flammable. Products of combustion may
contain carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other
toxic materials.
DO NOT enter enclosed or confined space
without proper protective equipment including
respiratory protection.
☞
Spill or leak:
Keep public away. Shut off supply of gas. Eliminate
sources of ignition. Ventilate the area. Disperse
with water spray.
Contact between skin and these gases in liquid
form can cause freezing of tissue causing injury
similar to thermal burn.
Vapors released from the spill may create an
explosive atmosphere.
☞
Waste disposal method:
Treatment, storage, transportation and disposal
must be in accordance with applicable federal,
state, provincial, and local regulations.
❑ Motor Oil (UN 1270)
☞
Extinguishing media:

keep fire exposed containers cool. Water spray
may be used to flush spills away from exposures.
☞
Unusual fire and explosion hazards:
Products of combustion may contain carbon mon-
oxide, carbon dioxide, and other toxic materials.
DO NOT enter enclosed or confined space
without proper protective equipment including
respiratory protection.
☞
Spill or leak:
Contain spill immediately in smallest area possible.
Recover as much of the product itself as possible
by such methods as vacuuming, followed by soak-
ing up of residual fluids by use of absorbent materi-
als.

nated soil and place in proper containers for dis-
posal. Avoid washing, draining or directing material
to storm or sanitary sewers .
