Times of India has reported that " 16 workers and two fire and rescue services personnel were injured in a fire at an industrial unit in the SIPCOT industrial estate in Cuddalore on Wednesday when workers were engaged in transferring inflammable chemical hydro peroxide from a container imported from China into 190kg barrels and in transporting the barrels to the godown. One of the barrels slipped while transporting and the chemical inside leaked leading to the fire."

Hydrogen Oeroxide is not a flamable material by itself. the near by vegitation has caught fire due to the oxidising property of Hydrogen Peroxide which must have spilled and absorbed in the soil. water is ideal to fight such fire.
