Fire-Fighting Measures Fire fighters should wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout gear. Hazardous Decomposition Products Fire/Explosion Hazards These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2), nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2...), sulfur oxides (SO2, SO3...). Some metallic oxides. Combustible liquid and vapor. Vapor may cause fire. Fire-Fighting Procedures Use foam or all purpose dry chemicals to extinguish. This material is toxic to aquatic organisms. Fire water contaminated with this material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain. : : : Extinguishing Media : Environmental Precautions and Clean-up Methods Personal Precautions If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills add absorbent (soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) and use a non-sparking or explosion proof means to transfer material to a sealed, appropriate container for disposal. For large spills dike spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal. Minimize contact of spilled material with soils to prevent runoff to surface waterways. Immediately contact emergency personnel. Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use suitable protective equipment (Section 8). Follow all fire fighting procedures (Section 5). Do not touch or walk through spilled material. 6. Accidental Release Measures Note: See section 1 for emergency contact information and section 13 for waste disposal. : : Handling Handling and Storage Storage 7. : RC032 Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
