Precautionary measures fire: Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.

Firefighting instructions: Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion.

Protection during firefighting: Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.

Other information: Avoid (reject) fire-fighting water to enter environment. Do not allow run-off from fire-fighting to enter drains or water courses.
