🔍 Key Concepts

• Properties and fire behavior of carbon disulfide (CS2) • Which extinguishing agents can spread flammable liquids with very low flash points • Guidance from the Chemical Data Guide for Bulk Shipment by Water on preferred agents for Class B liquid fires

💭 Think About

• Think about whether carbon disulfide is miscible with water and how that affects the use of foams or water-based agents • Consider which agents can quickly knock down flames on highly volatile liquids without causing the burning liquid to spread • Ask yourself which of these agents is commonly recommended for flammable liquid cargoes in chemical data references

✅ Before You Answer

• Check the flash point and volatility of carbon disulfide and how that influences agent selection • Verify which agents are listed as suitable for flammable liquid fires in chemical cargo guides, especially for low-boiling, highly volatile liquids • Eliminate any agents that might agitate or spread a burning liquid rather than smother it
