Pull the safety pin out to unlock the lever or trigger. The fire extinguisher
can't spray until the safety pin is removed.
Aim low and point the fire extinguisher's nozzle or hose at the base of the
fire.
Squeeze the lever or trigger to discharge the powder or "agent."
Sweep from side to side, always aiming at the base of the fire.
Read the label on your fire extinguisher and the user's manual for complete
instructions. Make sure everyone in your family knows how to use the fire
extinguisher before you're faced with a fire emergency!
