The New 5 Second Rule

Memorize the acronym for using an extinguisher: “PASS”

It stands for “pull, aim, squeeze, sweep.”
With a slight tug, remove the plastic tie from the handle and then…
Pull the pin from the handle.
Aim the nozzle low, while keeping the extinguisher upright.
Squeeze the handle in toward the fire, keeping the extinguisher focused on the base of the fire.
Sweep the extinguisher from side to side and focus at the base of the fire.
