A fire extinguisher is one of those tools everyone hopes they never need, but knowing how to use one can make all the difference in an emergency. 🔥
Remember P.A.S.S.:
P - Pull the pin
A - Aim at the base of the fire
S - Squeeze the lever
S - Sweep from side to side
A few important reminders: only use an extinguisher on a small, contained fire, keep a clear exit behind you, and evacuate immediately if the fire is spreading or you are unsure it can be controlled safely.
And don’t forget, extinguishers need regular inspection and service to make sure they’re ready when needed.
