INTRODUCTION

• A fire extinguisher or extinguisher is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or controls small fires,often in emergency situations.

• There are two main types of fire extinguishers stored pressure and cartridge operated.

THE STEPS

Step1 :

Call for help before attempting to extinguish a serious fire. The fire may take hold much faster than you're capable of dealing with it, and if help is on the way, it removes one less concern for you.

Step2:

Check for your own safety before starting to extinguish a fire. There are some key things to check for before you start fighting a fire using a fire extinguisher that is If you have more than one fire extinguisher, consider asking another mature and responsible person to use it in tandem with you.

Step3: Assess the fire. Only a contained fire should be fought

using a fire extinguisher. Portable fire extinguishers are valuable for immediate use on small fires because they contain a limited amount of extinguishing material, which needs to be used properly or it will be waste.

Step4: Check the type of extinguisher. There are four main

classes of fire extinguisher A, B, C, and the less common classes D . The extinguishing agent might be water, dry chemical, halon, CO2, or a special powder.

Step5: Ready the fire extinguisher. Almost all fire

extinguishers have a safety pin in the handle. This pin usually looks like a plastic or metal ring, sometimes colored red, that is held in place by a plastic seal.

Step6: Aim for the base of the fire. Shooting into the

flame is a waste of the fire extinguisher, as you're not putting out the source of the flames. It's vital to stop the fire at its source, or to remove or dampen the fuel from the fire, in order to put it out

Step7: Remember the simple acronym P.A.S.S.

to help you use the fire extinguisher effectively. P.A.S.S. stands for: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep.

Step8: Be aware that the typical fire extinguisher

will contain around 10 seconds of extinguishing power. If the extinguisher has already been discharged partially, this time will be less.

Step9: Tend to the area if you have successfully put out the fire.

If it is safe to do so, remove fuel sources and commence cleaning up. Water can be used to ensure there are no remaining sparks in materials that are safe to extinguish with water (most combustibles other than oils and other insoluble combustible liquids or places involving electricity)

Step10: Purchase a new fire extinguisher immediately. The old

one is now depleted and will serve no further purpose. Do not allow an empty extinguisher to be present where it could create the false impression of being a good extinguisher.

DO'S AND DONT'S

• DO'S- Know the location of all telephones,

emergency exits and fire extinguishers.-Stay low when you’re in a fire situation to

avoid breathing smoke and vapors.- Back away from the fire area to safety

once the fire is out.

• Dont's

-Continue trying to fight a fire if it starts to spread.

- Ever play around with a fire extinguisher.

- Use water to fight a flammable liquid fire or an electrical fire

CONCLUSION

• In conclusion irrespective of what fire extinguisher variety you select just be certain it can be the right one particular for the kind of fire which you placing out. Discover to use your fire extinguisher correctly and be sure it is in great operating circumstances.
