Fire Extinguishers - Using the P.A.S.S. Method

Pull - The pin and/or tear off the seal in place.

It is important to note that fire extinguishers are meant for use on small fires. If you have any doubt or cannot put out the fire immediately, leave the home and/or area immediately, as deadly smoke and gasses may already be accumulating in the surrounding air which can harm and may even cause death.

Aim - The hose towards the base of the fire.

 

Squeeze - The handle to operate the extinguisher

 
 

SWEEP the base from side to side until the fire is out.
