flooding amounts and from as far a distance as possible to sides of containers that
are exposed to flames until well after fire is out. Water should not be used directly
on material, but water spray can be used to absorb corrosive vapors. Wear proper full
protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)with
full face piece operated in positive pressure mode.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: None identified.
