Takeaways

• 😀 Ensure the fire extinguisher pressure is sufficient before use. A good pressure indicates it is ready for use.
• 😀 Know the type of fire you're dealing with. A fire extinguisher can be used for solid, liquid, gas, and electrical fires.
• 😀 Remain calm and avoid panicking when using a fire extinguisher. Staying composed is crucial for effective use.
• 😀 The proper posture is important: crouch down to maintain control and avoid getting too close to the fire.
• 😀 Always pull the pin from the fire extinguisher before use. Grip the neck or handle of the extinguisher to ensure proper control.
• 😀 Test the pressure of the fire extinguisher to make sure it functions. A stream of pressure coming from the nozzle indicates it is working.
• 😀 Keep a safe distance from the fire when using the fire extinguisher. The recommended distance is about one arm's length.
• 😀 Position the nozzle towards the base of the fire and use a sweeping motion from left to right (or vice versa) for effective extinguishing.
• 😀 Do not stop extinguishing the fire until it is completely out. Continue sweeping across the fire area until you're sure it's extinguished.
