SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS:
INDIVIDUALS SHOULD PERFORM ONLY THOSE FIRE PROCEDURES FOR WHICH
THEY HAVE BEEN TRAINED. WATER OR FOAM MAY CAUSE FROTHING WHEN
APPLIED TO FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS HAVING FLASH POINTS ABOVE 212 DEG F (100
DEG C). THE REMARK IS INCLUDED ONLY AS A PRECAUTION AND DOES NOT MEAN
THAT WATER OR FOAM SHOULD NOT OR COULD NOT BE USED IN FIGHTING FIRES
IN SUCH LIQUIDS. THE FROTHING MAY BE QUITE VIOLENT AND COULD ENDANGER
THE LIFE OF THE FIREFIGHTER PARTICULARLY WHEN SOLID STREAMS ARE
DIRECTED INTO THE HOT BURNING LIQUID. ON THE OTHER HAND, WATER SPRAY
CAREFULLY APPLIED HAS FREQUENTLY BEEN USED WITH SUCCESS IN
EXTINGUISHING SUCH FIRES BY CAUSING THE FROTHING TO OCCUR ONLY ON
THE SURFACE AND THIS FOAMING ACTION BLANKETS THE EXTINGUISHES THE
FIRE. (NFPA 325M-1984)
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Page 2 of 4 CA0400 07/29/10

WASTE DISPOSAL:
NOTE. UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS ARE SUBJECT TO RELATIVELY FAST
OXIDATION. MATERIALS WHICH INCREASE THE SURFACE AREA OF AIR
EXPOSURE, SUCH AS CLOTH (RAGS), PAPER, SAWDUST, AND ABSORBANT CLAYS,
MAY SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST WHEN WETTED WITH SUCH ACIDS. ARTICLES
USED TO CLEAN UP SPILLS SHOULD BE DISPOSED OF WITH THIS IN MIND.
