When to Use: Utilize a fire extinguisher when the fire is contained in a small area, like a wastebasket, is not spreading, everyone has evacuated the building, the fire department has been contacted, and the room is not filled with smoke.
PASS Technique:
1. Pull the pin: Hold the extinguisher with the nozzle away from you and release the locking mechanism.
2. Aim low: Direct the extinguisher at the base of the fire.
3. Squeeze the lever: Press the lever slowly and evenly.
4. Sweep: Move the nozzle from side to side to cover the fire.
Selecting an Extinguisher: Choose a multi-purpose extinguisher suitable for all types of home fires, ensuring it is large enough to handle small fires but still manageable in weight.
Safety Precautions:
1. Ensure the extinguisher is labeled by an independent testing laboratory.
2. Familiarize yourself with the extinguisher's instructions and operation before a fire occurs.
3. Consider attending hands-on fire extinguisher training sessions provided by local fire departments or equipment distributors.
4. Position extinguishers near exits and always keep your back towards a clear exit for an easy escape if the fire becomes uncontrollable.
5. If smoke fills the room, evacuate immediately. Safety is the priority.
Fire Response Plan:
1. Fire extinguishers are part of a fire response plan, but the primary focus should be on safe evacuation.
2. Every household should have a fire escape plan and functional smoke alarms in place.
