How To Use A Fire Extinguisher – PASS Technique

We all know what a fire extinguisher looks like. However, do you know how to use a fire extinguisher when crunch time comes?

There is one mnemonic that helps us learn how to use a fire extinguisher safely and ensure you have the right preparation for an emergency!

That is the PASS Technique

PASS is the acronym that describes the four essential steps of operating a fire extinguisher. In order, the four steps are:

Pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher. The pin or other locking device prevents the handle from an accidental press. Immediately test the extinguisher before approaching the fire to ensure it is working correctly.

Aim the nozzle of the extinguisher at the base of the fire while standing at a safe distance.

Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent.

Sweep the fire extinguisher nozzle from side to side. The focus of your aim must remain the base of the fire until the fire is extinguished.

To stop, release the handle. Maintain a safe distance when releasing the handle as the fire could flare up again.

Fire extinguishers are for small fires only. Don’t put yourself in danger by trying to tackle a larger fire.

Once you use extinguishers, arrange for their recharge with fire extinguisher refills.
