Precautions
Breathing apparatus in case of emergency
Monitor where there is potential risk (Listen but do not go near!)
Eliminate sources of ignition
Air cooler Finfan Hot air flows should not interfere but could happen in
unusual weather conditions. (Look at windsock and temp underneath)
Note the location of the Windsock. If any problem, hold your breath and
run across the wind flow
