Keep fire extinguishers handy and in good working order, in case of emergency
From National Fire Protection Association


Be prepared by strategically placing fire extinguish-
 ers around your house at least one on each floor
 and in the kitchen (this one should be an all-pur-
pose extinguisher, meaning it can be used on grease and
electrical fires), the basement, the garage, or workshop
area. Keep extinguishers out of reach of children.
 Fire extinguishers are best used when a fire is con-
tained in a small area, like a wastebasket, and when the


fire department has already been called. The NFPA says
to remember the word PASS when operating an extin-
guisher:
 Pull the pin. Release the lock with the nozzle pointing
away from you.
 Aim low. Point the extinguisher at the base of the fire.
 Squeeze the lever slowly and evenly.
 Sweep the nozzle from side to side.
 The best time to learn how to use the fire extinguisher


is now, before you ever need it (if you have any questions,
the local fire department can help).
 Fire extinguishers have gauges on them indicating
when they need to be replaced and should be checked
regularly to make sure they are still functional.
 If you're ever in doubt about whether to use an extin-
guisher on a fire, don't try it.
 Instead, leave the house immediately and call the fire
department.
