Remembering the word PASS can help you remember how to use the fire extinguisher;

Pull - the safety pin at the top of the extinguisher.

Aim - the nozzle or hose at the base of the fire, standing about 6' - 8' away.

Squeeze - or depress the handle.

Sweep - gently from side to side until the fire is out.

Where is the closest fire extinguisher in your area? Do you know how to use it? Look at the symbols on the extinguisher;

An ‘A’ in a triangle is an extinguisher that will fight ordinary combustibles, such as burning trash or cloth.

A ‘B’ in a square is an extinguisher that will fight flammable liquid fires, such as grease or oils or gasoline.

A ‘C’ in a circle is an extinguisher that will fight energized electrical fires, such as burning wires or switches.

A ‘D’ in a star is an extinguisher that will fight combustible metal fires, such as titanium or magnesium.
