Better get out of burning buildings fast! When fire department gets there and starts spraying this stuff around, the heat will convert it to phosgene gases and kill you real quick. At least that'll be less painful death than getting burned alive.

Carbon Tetrachloride was used in fire extinguishers. I don't think methylene chloride was. When Carbon tet is heated in a fire, it produces deadly phosgene gas, which killed more than one user before they figured it out.
