- Trigger an smoke alarm system to inform building residents of an urgent condition
- Inform the law or the Fire Department about the fire
- Keep in mind: Never try to snuff out the fire until those actions are done
- Place yourself 'tween a fire and the escape path, roughly 6 to 8 feet from a fire
- Always remember the acronym PASS:
- P – Pull a pin for unlocking the extinguisher's operating handle
- A – Aim your extinguisher low on the source of a fire
- S – Squeeze a lever at the extinguisher to eject the hose
- S – Sweep the hose or nozzle from one side to another, and consistently sweep your extinguisher backward and forward at the source of the fires until the flame is extinguished or the extinguisher is emptied
If the suppression attempts are failed…
- Immediately leave the building, and close the doorway behind you to hold in the flames
- Vacate the room, and, if possible, notify responding firemen of the fire position and your earliest suppression attempts.
After the flames is extinguished…
- Observe situations to assure the fire doesn't reignite
- Keep up a dependable escape path until the chance of re-ignition no longer subsists
- Stay away from exposure of the extinguishing chemical, as aspiration of an agent can irritate the respiratory system
