Fire extinguishers for use in toluene fires shall be normally carbon dioxide
(type B or C), dry chemical (type B or C), or foam (type A or B). All vehicles
carrying toluene shall be equipped with at least one appropriate extinguisher of
no less than 10 lb. capacity.
Due to the potential for explosion and toxic fume hazards, extinguishing toluene
fires shall be left to persons knowledgeable and equipped for such fire
fighting. For small, readily extinguishable fires, or where persons are in
imminent danger, employees with minimum fire extinguisher training and proper
equipment may attempt to extinguish small fires.
