Home Fire Extinguisher Use

Use PASS to fight small fires

Home extinguisher basics cover choosing the right class (usually ABC), placing units on exits, checking gauges, and using PASS (pull, aim, squeeze, sweep) only on small, contained fires with a clear exit.

Pick and Place

Use ABC units; mount near exits and kitchen, not over stoves.

Check Ready

Inspect gauge and pin; replace or service if low or expired.

Use PASS

Pull pin, aim at base, squeeze, sweep; evacuate if unsure.
