  • A fire extinguisher is a portable device that is
    used to extinguish or control small fires, often
    in emergency situations.
  • It is important to be familiar with the different
    types of fire extinguishers and how to use them
    properly in case of a fire emergency.

3
DIFFERENT TYPES OF FIRE EXTINGUISHER
  • There are several different types of fire
    extinguishers, each designed to be used on
    specific types of fires.
  • For example, water extinguishers are designed to
    be used on fires caused by combustible materials
    such as paper or wood, while CO2 extinguishers
    are designed to be used on fires caused by
    electrical equipment.

HOW TO USE FIRE EXTINGUISHER

    lever to release the extinguishing agent, and
    Sweep the nozzle from side to side to extinguish
    the flames.

WHEN TO EVACUATE
  • In some cases, it may not be safe to use a fire
    extinguisher and you should immediately evacuate
    the area.
  • This may be the case if the fire is spreading
    quickly, if the room is filling with smoke, or if
    you are unsure about how to use the extinguisher
    properly.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
  • Fire extinguishers should be inspected regularly
    to ensure they are in good working order. This
    typically involves checking the pressure gauge to
    make sure the extinguisher is fully charged, and
    inspecting the hose and nozzle for any signs of
    damage.
  • It is also important to replace fire
    extinguishers after they have been used or if
    they have reached their expiration date.

  • CONCLUSION
  • fire extinguishers are an important tool for
    fighting small fires and can help prevent a fire
    from spreading. By familiarizing yourself with
    the different types of extinguishers and how to
    use them properly, you can help keep yourself and
    others safe in case of a fire emergency.
