LIQUID SPILL FIRES AND TANKER FIRES - LIQUID ESCAPING FROM CARGO TANK:
With fires involving large quantities of hydrocarbon products, depending on the location, it may
be more advantageous to take a defensive action and let the fire burn out or burn until the
resources are available to combat the incident. However, in any case, the following actions
are recommended if a fire attack is chosen.
— Halt responding apparatus uphill of incident. Place foam lines into service to control the
spill fire, (EOM 507.01). DO NOT USE WATER UNLESS IT IS TO PERFORM A
RESCUE OR UNLESS YOU CAN FLUSH THE FIRE INTO AN ISOLATED AREA.
— Enough foam should be available to operate for at least 10 minutes of solid foam
application on a hydrocarbon spill fire. This will necessitate a mutual aid request for
foam.
— Make the initial attack from the sides of the tank.
— Enough foam concentrate should be on scene before attempting to fight a liquid spill fire
from a gasoline tank truck. Remember, these trucks may contain up to 9,000 gallons of
fuel. Extinguishment should not be started unless the resources are on scene.

— Do not make long hose lays.
— Check road conditions before the fire hits.
— Check each home for defensibility; move patio furniture into or away from the structure,
close windows and doors.
— Check for hazardous materials, LPG, fuel, etc.
— If a home becomes well involved, leave it and move on to one you can save.
-- Always wear full wildland safety gear.
— Firefighter safety is always the number one priority.
