Heat transfer oil generally falls into Category B flammable substances; in the event of a fire, it can be extinguished using water-based fire extinguishing equipment. It is necessary to decide whether to shut down the system depending on where the heat transfer oil is being used. Care should be taken to prevent any leakage of the oil from contaminating the environment, and the oil should be collected properly.

Reply to 3# adong821: Immediately cut off the gas and heating sources, stop the heat transfer oil pump, and use foam and sand to extinguish the fire
