Specific extinguishing meth-
ods
: Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread
fire.
Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do
so.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Further information : Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This
must not be discharged into drains.
Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must
be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
