Foam, Dry Chemical SPECIAL
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
No known toxic combustion products or special fire fighting hazards. Self-contained
breathing apparatus and protective clothing should be worn when fighting
chemical fires. Do not use
high pressure stream of water to extinguish burning
material. UNUSUAL

Never attempt to convert solid-fuel units to liquid use by adding
absorbent material to the fuel receptacle.
Use only solid STERNO CANNED HEAT in open cup burners.
DIRECTIONS: (1) Extinguish
flame audit snuffer. (2)
Remove burner from heat stand, place in sink or on sink top(spilled fuel
may harm some furniture finishes).
(3) Lift flip-top spout.
