A water stream can scatter flames. A spray of water may <br /> 13 be used to cool fir:-exposed containers. <br /> This flammable liquid is a dangerous fizz hazard and a moderate explusion hazard when <br /> erposed to heat or flare. Heavier-than-air vapors can sow along surfaces [l distant <br /> ihnition sources and flash back. <br /> !t Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus. <br /> SECTION V.
