Chemical & Response Details
| Also known as | Detonating fuzesExplosive fuzesBlasting fuzesInitiating devices |
| Appearance | Metallic or plastic cylindrical devices containing primary and secondary explosive charges. Typically small, compact assemblies designed to initiate main explosive charges. |
| Flash Point | Not applicable (explosive article) |
| Boiling Point | Not applicable (explosive article) |
| Vapor Density | Not applicable (solid article) |
| Water Reactivity | No significant reaction with water, but moisture may affect reliability |
| Extinguishing | Do not use water or foam. Dry sand or inert material for cover only. No extinguishment attempts. |
| PPE | ⚠️ Evacuate area immediately. Minimum 500m isolation. Only trained EOD personnel with full protective equipment if approach necessary. |

Chemical details are general reference only. Always verify with current SDS, ERG, and SOP/SOG.
Common hazards (high level)
- Mass explosion hazard — entire load may detonate simultaneously.
- Severe blast overpressure and fragmentation.
- Sensitive to heat, shock, and friction.
- Secondary fire and debris hazard.
First actions (field-minded)
- CALL 911. Then call emergency response telephone number on shipping paper.
- Establish large isolation zone — minimum 500 meters in all directions.
- Stage upwind, uphill; limit personnel to essential responders only.
- Request Hazmat + law enforcement + additional resources immediately.
- Do not fight fire — evacuate and isolate; let burn if no life safety risk.
- Protect exposures only if safe and directed by command.
- Consult current ERG Guide 112 and follow SOP/SOG.
