HOW TO USE FIRE EXTINGUISHER?
Learning how to use fire extinguishers can be crucial to keeping your business, property and life safe from the consequences of a fire.
There is an easy way to remember this using the ‘PASS’ system:
- Pull the pin. This breaks the seal, making the fire extinguisher ready for use.
- Aim at the base of the fire.
- Squeeze the handle/lever slowly to discharge the extinguisher at the fire.
- Sweep from side to side to ensure you cover all of the fire.
