Any fuel spill has the potential to be very dangerous to emer-gency responders, bystanders, and the environment—for example, the fuel can enter storm drains, waterways, and canals. Combustible liquids such as diesel fuel and kerosene are not as flammable as gasoline and can be handled a little differently. With flammable liquids, you must consider vapor suppression in addition to potential spark hazards, whereas diesel fuel must be preheated to produce flammable vapors. To control a fuel spill, take the following steps: 1. Size up. 2. Confine. 3. Contain. 4. Suppress vapors. 5. Terminate incident.
