If <br />leak or spill has not ignited, ventilate area to protect personnel attempt- <br />ing to stop leak. Use water to flush spills away from sources of ignition. <br />Do not flush down public sewers or other drainage systems. <br />Exposed firefighters must wear NIOSH/MSHA approved, positive pres- <br />sure, self-contained, breathing apparatus with full face mask and full- <br />protective clothing. Use a smothering technique for extinguishing fire <br />of a combustible liquid. Do not use a forced water stream directly on <br />fuel oil fires, as this will scatter the fire. <br />UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS - Flowing fuel oil can <br />be ignited by self-generated static electricity. Fire hazard is greater as <br />liquid temperature rises above 85°F. Irritating or toxic substances may <br />be emitted upon thermal decomposition. Dangerous when exposed to <br />heat or flame. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard. <br />Containers may explode in heat of fire. (• continued on page 2) <br />NA =NOT APPLICABLE NDA =NO DATA AVAILABLE
