Emergency Response PPE (Fire Fighters)				Hazards
Respiratory: SCBA unless specific monitor results indicate otherwise. May be down-graded to organic vapor cartridge type respirator				Extremely flammable. Vapors may travel downwind and gather in low areas and, if ignited, flash back to fuel source.
Eye/Face/Body: Goggles, face shield, fire turnout clothing
Emergency Medical Actions				Incompatible
Remove from area Flush affected areas with water for 15 minutes Provide oxygen if difficulty in breathing exists If ingested, do not induce vomiting, seek immediate medical attention				Oxidizers
Notes				Initial and Protective Action Distances
Contents include natural gasoline (PEL 300 ppm), toluene (PEL 50 ppm) and isopentane (600) Other ingredients have no listed exposure limits. Some ingredients have caused cancer in lab animals Known carcinogen, mutagen, reproductive toxin, blood toxin Use non-sparking tools, absorb with sand or dry, inert materials				Small Spills <> Isolate ignition sources, absorb with sand, earth or clay litter.	Large Spills <> Isolate ignition sources, evacuate area and blanket material with foam.
Emergency Response Actions
Cool exposed containers with water fog. Isolate ignition sources. Material will float on water. Use foam to blanket and extinguish fires or to prevent ignition by vapor suppression. Shut off fuel supply if possible.
