Special protective precautions and equipment for fire fighters

Fire fighters should wear full protective equipment including self-contained breathing

apparatus. In case of fire material can be explosively reactive. Use water spray to cool

fire exposed surface and to protect personnel. If leak or spill has not ignited, use

water spray to disperse the vapours and protect men attempting to stop leak. Use

foam or dry chemical to extinguish fire. Avoid spraying water directly into storage

containers due to the dangers of boilover.
