When a fire starts, every second counts! Knowing how to properly use a fire extinguisher could make all the difference.
β
Remember the P.A.S.S. Method!
π§― P β PULL the pin to unlock the extinguisher.
π― A β AIM the nozzle at the base of the fire, not the flames.
β S β SQUEEZE the handle to release the extinguishing agent.
βοΈ S β SWEEP the nozzle from side to side at the base of the fire until it's extinguished.
π¨ SAFETY FIRST!
βοΈ Only attempt to extinguish a small, contained fire if it's safe to do so.
βοΈ Make sure you have the correct type of extinguisher for the fire.
βοΈ Always keep a clear escape route behind you.
βοΈ If the fire spreads, smoke becomes dangerous, or you're unsure, evacuate immediately and call 911.
βοΈ Even if the fire appears to be out, have the fire department assess the situation.
