 
Know How to Use a Fire Extinguisher
The time to learn how to use a fire
extinguisher is now! Since fire spreads so rapidly, a person does
not have time to learn how to use a fire extinguisher once the
emergency occurs. By remembering the acronym PASS you will be armed
with the proper knowledge of how to fight a small fire.
PASS stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze and
Sweep.
- Pull the pin at the top of the cylinder.
- Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.
- Squeeze the handle.
- Sweep the contents from side to side at the
base of the fire until it goes out.
Watch carefully to make sure the fire is extinguished and does not start blazing again.
