Extinguishing Media – Foam, water fog, gas (CO2/halon), dry chemical.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures –Do not spray water directly on drain cleaner.  Acid reacts violently with water and can cause spattering.  Wear protective clothing, eye face, and skin protection and NIOSH approve self-contained breathing apparatus..

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards – At high temperatures, sulfuric acid mist or sulfur trioxide gas can be released from vented or ruptured containers.
