A Fire Extinguisher can be a Life Saving Tool

6/24/2019 (Permalink)

The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) recommends individuals be properly trained in order to use and maintain an extinguisher. USFA says an extinguisher should only be used if:

1. You have alerted other occupants and someone has called the fire department.
2. The fire is small and contained to a single object, such as a wastebasket.
3. You are safe from toxic smoke produced by the fire.
4. You have a means of escape identified and the fire is not between you and the escape route.
5. Your instincts tell you that it is safe to use an extinguisher.
