Using a Fire Extinguisher

Purchase an A-B-C rated fire extinguisher and teach all responsible family members how to use it.

Fire extinguishers are for small fires only.

When using one, stand back 10 feet from the fire, keep your back to an exit and remember the PASS Sequence.


PASS Sequence:

P	pull the pin out
A	aim the extinguisher
S	squeeze or press the handle
S	sweep from side to side at the base of the fire
