Dry chemical.
Foam.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained,
positive pressure or positive pressure demand self-contained
breathing apparatus, tunic and pants, bands around arms, waist and
legs, full facepiece, and protective covering for exposed areas of
