Every home, car, boat, and trailer should be equipped with a portable fire extinguisher. Having the proper ones and knowing how to use them is important. Most portable fire extinguisher are emptied in 30-60 seconds, so know what to do in advance. To operate:
Pull the locking pin,
Aim at the base of theflames,
Squeeze the handle,
Sweep back and forth.
P.A.S.S. is an acronym to remember on how to place a portable fire extinguishers into operation quickly.
REMEMBER, portable fire extinguishers are ment for small fires. Don't fight a large fire yourself. Call the local fire department if you do have a fire after getting everyone out.
