However, dust <br /> powder or fumes are flammable or explosive when exposed to heat or flames. <br /> Hazardous Combustion Products: Combustion may yield smoke, metal oxides and other products of <br /> incomplete combustion. <br /> Special Protective Actions for Firefighters: For fires beyond the initial stage; emergency responders in the <br /> immediate hazard area should wear protective clothing. When the potential chemical hazard is unknown, in <br /> enclosed or confined spaces,or when explicitly required by DOT, a self-contained breathing apparatus should <br /> be worn. In addition, wear other appropriate protective equipment as conditions warrant (see Section 8). Isolate <br /> immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Stop spill/release if it can be done with minimal <br /> risk. Move undamaged containers from immediate hazard area if it can be done with minimal risk. Water spray <br /> may be useful in minimizing or dispersing vapors. Cool equipment exposed to fire with water, if it can be done <br /> with minimal risk. <br /> 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES <br /> Personal Precautions: In case of dust release, stay upwind and away from spill. Notify persons down-wind <br /> of spill/release, isolate immediate hazard area and keep unauthorized personnel out. Contain spill if it can be <br /> done with minimal risk. Wear appropriate protective equipment including respiratory protection as conditions <br /> warrant(see Section 8).
