If there is small fire and you know how to use the fire extinguisher, take the following steps carefully.

1

Pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher that keeps the handle from being accidentally pressed.

2

Aim the nozzle toward the base of the fire.

3

Stand approximately 2.5 m (8 ft) away from the fire and squeeze the handle to discharge the extinguisher.

If you release the handle, the discharge will stop.

4

Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire.

After the fire appears to be out, watch it carefully since it may re-ignite.
