    Parts of Dry Chemical Fire Extinguisher
    HOW TO USE FIRE EXTINGUISHER
    P.A.S.S.- Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep

    1. Pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher that keeps the handle
    from being accidentally pressed.
    2. Aim the nozzle toward the base of the fire.
    3. Stand approximately 8 feet away from the fire and squeeze the
    handle to discharge the extinguisher. If you release the handle, the
    discharge will stop.
    4. Sweep the nozzle back and forth at the base of the fire and slowly
    move forward to extinguish the remaining fire. After the fire appears
    to be out, watch it carefully since it may re-ignite!
