fire unless flow of material can be stopped first. Flood with
fine water spray. Cool containers with water spray until
well after the fire is out. Apply water from a protected
location or from a safe distance. Avoid inhalation of
material or combustion by-products. Stay upwind and keep
out of low areas. Evacuate if fire gets out of control or
containers are directly exposed to fire. Evacuation radius:
500 meters (1/3 mile). Consider downwind evacuation if
material is leaking. Stop flow of gas.
