: in case of large fire, water may be ineffective
: as a water solution, the fire is highly improbable.
: fire fighters and others who may be exposed to the products of combustion, should be equipped with NIOSH
approved positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
: when exposed to flames or high temperatures encountered during fire conditions, sealed containers may rupture
because of the build up of internal pressure: cool containers with water and remove.
