Check the extinguisher
Confirm the class matches the fire type (A/B/C) and pressure gauge is in range.
Position safely
Keep an exit at your back and stay low if there is smoke.
Use PASS
Pull the pin, aim at the base, squeeze the handle, and sweep side to side.
Know when to leave
If fire grows, smoke thickens, or single extinguisher fails, evacuate immediately.
