USING A FIRE EXTINGUISHER
P - Pull the Pin at the top of the extinguisher. The pin releases a locking mechanism
and will allow you to discharge the extinguisher.
A - Aim at the base of the fire, not the flames. This is important - in order to put out
the fire, you must extinguish the fuel.
S - Squeeze the lever slowly. This will release the extinguishing agent in the
extinguisher. If the handle is released, the discharge will stop.
S - Sweep from side to side. Using a sweeping motion, move the fire extinguisher
back and forth until the fire is completely out. Operate the extinguisher from a safe
distance, several feet away, and then move towards the fire once it starts to
diminish. Be sure to read the instructions on your fire extinguisher - different fire
extinguishers recommend operating them from different distances.
Remember: Aim at the base of the fire, not at the flames !
