As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. For example: Wear a self-contained respiratory protective device. Wear suitable protective clothing and eye/face protection.

4.5 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Lithium Polymer Battery may burst and release hazards decomposition products when exposed to a fire situation. lithium polymer battery contains the flammable electrolyte that may vent, ignite and produce sparks when subjected to high temperature(>150°C), When damaged or abused(e.g. mechanical damage or electrical overcharging); may burn rapidly with flare-burning effect; may ignite other batteries in clothes proximity.

1. Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures
Personal Precautions Avoid contact with eyes. Refer to section 8 for personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

2. Environmental forethoughts
Absorb with the liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).

3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for containment Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Methods for cleaning up: Use personal protective equipment. Dam up. Cover liquid spill with sand, earth or other Noncombustible absorbent material. Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.

6.1 First-aid measures
Eye Contact Rinse thoroughly with plenty of water, also under the eyelids. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Skin Contact Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin with soap and water. In the case of skin irritation or allergic reactions see a physician. Inhalation: Move to fresh air. If symptoms persist, call a physician. Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water. If symptoms persist, call a physician.
