STOP THE RELEASE OF MATERIALS IF POSSIBLE. COOL THE VAPOR SPACE OF THE STORAGE CONTAINER WITH WATER SPRAY.
AVOID ACCUMULATION OF UNBURNED MATERIALS. REMOVE PERSONNEL IN GENERAL AREA. OBSERVE MAXIMUM ISOLATION
WHEN EXTINGUISING FIRE. EXPANSION OF LIQUID AND CHANGE OF STATE FROM LIQUID TO VAPOR WILL ALLOW
COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURE TO ENCOMPASS A LARGE AREA.
