HOW TO OPERATE YOUR FIRE
EXnNGUISHER IN A FIRE EMERGENCY
ADANGER!
Make

your extinguisher may be
used on the small fire you want to fight. Always use extreme
caution when fighting any
fire.
Fight a fire only where there is
a clear escape path to allow you to get out safely if the fire
gets worse.
AWARNING!
Avoid breathing smoke and heated fumes;
necessary. Burning materials will release toxic fumes.
Inhaling these fumes may cause injury or death.
ACAUTION!
Always
stand
back far enough away from the fire-near
an exit-and make
sure
nothing is between you and your
escape
route.
If you get too close to a fire, you risk
burned or hit by splattering material like grease. If the fire is
too hot or
smoky
for you to get within 6 feet (2 meters), DO
NOT try to fight the fire yourself. Evacuate immediately and
call the Fire Department.
For fires on a kitchen stove, turn
immediately
if possible.
If
you
can't reach
controls safely, extin9uish
the fire first, then tum them off.
Fight the fire from an upwind direction with your back to any
strong air current. Trying to fight a fire with currents blowing
towards you can resun in serious
