Fire-Fighting Measures Suitable extinguishing media: dry powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray, carbon dioxide Special protective equipment: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus. Further information: The degree of risk is governed by the burning substance and the fire conditions. Contaminated extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with official regulations. 6. Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions: Use personal protective clothing. Environmental precautions: Contain contaminated water/firefighting water.
