Chemical & Response Details
| Also known as | Rocket warheads with bursting chargeExplosive warheadsMilitary rocket warheadsArmed rocket warheads |
| Appearance | Manufactured military ordnance devices designed as rocket payload containing explosive bursting charges. Typically metal-cased assemblies with integrated fuzing systems. |
| Flash Point | Not applicable (explosive ordnance) |
| Boiling Point | Not applicable (explosive ordnance) |
| Vapor Density | Not applicable (solid ordnance) |
| Water Reactivity | Not applicable — water does not detonate explosives but may affect stability of certain components |
| Extinguishing | Do not use water or foam — use distance and protective cover only |
| PPE | ⚠️ Maximum distance and protective cover required; SCBA with full protective clothing; evacuation typically preferred over firefighting |
| Isolation | ERG 112: isolate 500m (1600 ft) all directions; if fire involved, evacuate 1600m (1 mile) radius; mass explosion hazard affects entire load |
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.
