    (WATER MAY BE INEFFECTIVE.)
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT .  MOVE CONTAINERS FROM FIRE AREA IF IT CAN BE DONE
    WITHOUT RISK.  USE WATER TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL. NFPA
    704AM RATING:  2-4- 1.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPS MAY FLOW ALONG SURFACES OF DISTANT
    IGNIT SOURCES & FLASH BACK.  CLOSED CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO HEAT MAY

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:STOR COLOR CODE: RED (FLAMM).	KEEP
    CONTR TIGHTLY CLSD.  STORE IN COOL, DRY, WELL-VENTILATED, FLAMM LIQ
    STOR AREA.	ISOLATE FROM INCOMPATIBLE MATLS.  BOND & GROUND CONTRS
    WHEN TRANSFERRING LIQ.  ETHER  IS SUBJECT TO PEROXIDE FORM IN
    OPENED CONTRS & SHOULD BE PROT FROM EXPOS TO AIR AS MUCH AS POSS.
Other Precautions:WHEN LOW PEROXIDE ETHER REQ, USE ONLY MATL FROM
    UNOPENED CAN.  DO NOT LET EVAP TO NEAR DRYNESS.  ADDN OF
    WATER/APPROP REDUCING AGENTS WILL LESSEN PEROXIDE FORM.  DISCARD
    ANY REMAINING ETHER IN OPENED  CONTRS THAT IS NOT CONSUMED AFTER
