Call a physician immediately.

5. Fire Fighting Measures
Suitable extinguishing media

Cold water and dry powder in large amount are applicable.
Use metal fire extinction powder or dry sand if only few cells are involved.

Special hazards arising from the chemical

May form hydrofluoric acid if electrolyte comes into contact with water.
In case of fire, the formation of the following flue gases cannot be excluded:
Hydrogen fluoride (HF), Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.

Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
