Hazard
Ethanol can form a flammable gas mixture at ambient temperatures that is readily ignitable by sparks or open flames.

Removal of all potential sources of ignition including sparks and open flames.
Flammable
The fuel has been assigned a Class III flammability rating for low flash point.
Gas Ignition
The gas ignition can cause a rupture of the container, violent spread of the stored liquid fuel and subsequent injuries or a large fire.
Liquid Fuels
Liquid fuels are typically a high risk commodity in fire for their ability to grow to a large heat release rate in a short period of time. This reduces the effectiveness of automatic or first responder firefighting efforts and raises the risk of loss of containment by firefighting crews and large scale property damage and potential injury and loss of life.
