Fire Fighting
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Extinguishing media: For large fires, use water spray, fog, or alcohol-resistant foam. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, halon, or water spray.

Fire Potential
Combustible material: may burn but does not ignite readily.
