Fire Extinguisher Applications

When a fire breaks out in a restaurant, a fire extinguisher can help you extinguish the fire from a safe distance. When using a fire extinguisher, make sure you have opened the valve of the fire extinguisher and pointed the fire extinguisher at the fire. Then, standing at a safe distance from the fire extinguisher, press the trigger of the fire extinguisher while spraying the fire extinguisher toward the fire. If the fire dies down, continue to spray until the fire is completely extinguished. If the extinguisher runs out of gas or the fire is out of control, stop using the extinguisher immediately, evacuate the fire, and call an emergency number.

In the event of a fire in an office building, a fire extinguisher can help you safely extinguish the flames from a safe distance. Before using a fire extinguisher, make sure the valve is open and the nozzle is pointed at the base of the fire. Stand back from the fire at a safe distance, and then squeeze the lever on the fire extinguisher to release the extinguishing agent. Continue to spray the fire until it is fully extinguished. If the fire extinguisher runs out of gas or the fire cannot be controlled, stop using the fire extinguisher and evacuate the area immediately, and call emergency services for assistance.
