again DU and fire

[Mauro Campoleoni <trentino@iol.it>]

Hallo to you all.
I'm having again problems with DU used in civil aircraft as tailplane.
The question post by the firemen is:
what happens in case of a fire? what do the firemen risk in case
of extinguishing the fire of such an airplane? What about contamination
or inhalation?

Has anybody already faced this problem?
Thanks for suggestions.

Mauro.
