SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media
Water, Large fires: Flood with fine water spray.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide or halogenated extinguishing agents.
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Oxidizer. May ignite or explode on contact with combustible materials. Containers may rupture or explode
if exposed to heat.
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
Wear full protective fire fighting gear including self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for protection
against possible exposure.
Fire Fighting Measures
Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers with water spray until well
after the fire is out. Stay away from the ends of tanks. For fires in cargo or storage area: If this is
impossible then take the following precautions: Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and
deny entry. Let the fire burn. For small fires, contain and let burn. Apply water from a protected location or
from a safe distance. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep out
of low areas. Evacuation radius: 800 meters (1/2 mile).

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear personal protective clothing and equipment, see Section 8.
Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. Keep out of water supplies and sewers.
Methods for Containment
Leaking gas fire: Do not extinguish, unless leak can be stopped safely. Eliminate all ignition sources if
safe to do so. Reduce vapors with water spray. Stop leak if safe to do so - Prevent entry into waterways,
