1. Give some examples of the types of hazardous chemicals, specifically oxidizers, stored in homes (such as those stored under counters and sinks, in garages/basements and in pump houses/sheds). Discuss the following:

A. What problems and dangerous situations can result from the improper storage and use (i.e., mixing them together, etc.) of these chemicals? Describe potential hazardous material interactions.

B. What government agency and statutes/regulation(s) govern for the labeling and registration of these hazardous household products?

2. Why do firefighters recommend the use of a deluging volume of water when extinguishing an oxidizer-supported fire? What may happen to a large (i.e., 30-50lb) container of trichloro-s-triazinetrione, or calcium hypochlorite, if it is left to sit in the water and muck remaining in a building after fire fighting efforts have ended, but clean-up will not begin for several days? The assumption here is that the plastic container has been compromised in some way by the heat of the fire and possibly creating cracks in the base or sides.
