Firemen always use too much water during an ammonia release, creating problems with run-off and with the smell of ammonia being carried away to different areas by the water.
Water sprays should be little more than a fine fog. This gives the water with a much larger surface area per gallon, and that allows more ammonia absorption and creates less run-off. It also reduces the ammonia vapor cloud much more efficiently than a heavier spray.
