ness and replaced, if necessary.

If spilt ethanol catches fire, try to extinguish the flames immediately. You
should use a foam fire extinguisher with alcohol-resistant foam or a suitable
fire blanket. We strongly advise you to have these available at all times. If
the fire takes hold and you are unable to extinguish it quickly, call the fire
brigade straight away and follow their instructions!
