When using a fire extinguisher, remember the acronym PASS:
Pull the pin. This unlocks the operating lever and allows you to discharge the extinguisher. Be sure to aim away from yourself when doing this.
Aim low, pointing the extinguisher nozzle at the base of the fire. Remember, you need to extinguish the fuel source, not just the flames.
Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly. This will release the extinguishing agent.
Sweep the nozzle from side to side, covering the area of the fire with the extinguishing agent. Continue until the fire is out. Watch for re-flash, and repeat if necessary.
Important Considerations:
Ensure you are using the correct type of <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/fire%20extinguisher%20type">fire extinguisher type</a> for the class of fire. Using the wrong type can be ineffective or even dangerous.
Maintain a safe <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/safe%20distance">safe distance</a> from the fire. Start further back and move closer as the fire diminishes.
If the fire is too large or spreading rapidly, evacuate immediately and call the fire department. Your <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/personal%20safety">personal safety</a> is the top priority.
Be aware of your <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/escape%20route">escape route</a>. Ensure you have a clear and safe path to exit the area in case the fire cannot be controlled.
After using an extinguisher, even partially, have it <a href="https://www.wikiwhat.page/kavramlar/fire%20extinguisher%20inspection">inspected and recharged</a> by a qualified professional.
