Isolate for 1/2 mile in all directions if tank car or truck is involved in fire.
CALL CHEMTREC AT 1-800-424-9300 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE., especially if there is no local hazardous materials team available.


FIRE
Let tank car, tank truck or storage tank burn unless leak can be stopped; with smaller tanks or cylinders, extinguish/isolate from other flammables.
Small Fires: Dry chemical, CO2 or Halon.
Large Fires: Water spray, fog or standard foam is recommended.
Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Stay away from ends of tanks.
For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn.
Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety device or any discoloration of tank due to fire.


SPILL OR LEAK
Shut off ignition sources, no flares, smoking or flames in hazard area.

Isolate area until gas has dispersed.


FIRST AID
Move victim to fresh air and call emergency medical care; if not breathing, give artificial respiration., if breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
