As per: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npgd0267.html Re: Ethyl Chloride, Min PPE is Respirators/CABA. Have all crews that can, don CABA for inital work.

Its early morning in July which could be interesting. Chloroethane has a listed BP of 54F or about 12.5C as the incident progresses we could well see the liquid begin to boil off. Its heavier than air which is going to make things nice a fun, depending on the slope. Reacts with water to form HCl :(

Confirmation of three persons trapped, in two vehicles, turn out an additional Rescue Brigade and initiate a Hazmat response of two Brigades.

This could be a fun RCR in CABA...

Nice i was hoping someone would pick up on that temp thing. well done

So basically the agreement is do the RCR stuff but be aware of the unusual dangers surrounding us.

That link numbers gives, mentions to avoid skin contact with the liquid? does that warrant splash suits? (for the whole scene or just the cleanup? or is PBi ok?) does the reaction with water  cause alarm if this happens to turn into a dewy morning?
