EXTINGUISHING MEDIA    foam,  CO2,  dry chemical,  class B fire extinguisher

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:  Vapors may cause flash fire.  Vapor may ignite explosively.  Vapors may spread long distances.  Prevent buildup of vapors.  Extinguish all pilot lights and turn off heaters, non-explosion proof electrical equipment and other sources of ignition during use and until vapors are all gone.  Do not weld or cut drums in which paint or thinner has been stored.

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES
Water spray may be ineffective to extinguish fire.  Water should be used to cool containers exposed to fire.  use a self contained breathing apparatus with a full face piece operated in pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
