[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1332044, member: 694"] This is basically an unstoppable reaction and all you can do is evacuate and run. I held an Avanced Firefighter Cert while working had to for incident and on scene commander duties. Read about the TC explosions of the Grand Camp and High Flyer worst industrial accident in US history same scenario. When water is applied to NH3 nitrate an unstoppable exothermic reaction occurs this gets expounded exponentially by pressure of containment area creating the snowball effect that turns into an avalanche. The minute the firefighters put water on the NH3 nitrate they were doomed. This is the big issue I have with VFD's lack of training and equipment heII of a difference in an industrial/chemical fire and a house fire. Had that incident occurred at work where we had some of the best firefighting equipment in the country, I would activated the level four alarm system evacuating the city and we would have ran. The explosion was imminent. [/QUOTE]
