Just simple just remember the Keyword: PASS (Pull, Aim, Squeeze and Sweep)
Pull the pin. At the top of the extinguisher. The pin releases a locking mechanism and will allow you to discharge the extinguisher.
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.
Squeeze the top handle or lever.This will release the extinguishing agent in the extinguisher. If the handle is released, the discharge will stop.
Sweep from side to side until the fire is completely out. 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!!!!
