Fuel◦ must be something
to burn

1. Check the gauge• The pressure indicator should be in the
green zone. (CO2 extinguishers do not
have pressure gauges)
2. The extinguisher should have a
current inspection tag
3. The pin and handle should be
secured with a plastic tab seal
4. The extinguisher and hose should be
free of any visible damage

1. Extinguishers are in their assigned place.
2. Extinguishers are not blocked or hidden.
3. Operating instructions are legible.
4. Pressure gauges show adequate pressure - CO2 extinguishers must be weighed or hefted to determine if leakage has occurred.
5. Pin and seals are not broken and in place.
6. Fire extinguishers show no visual sign of damage, corrosion, leakage or clogged nozzle.
![Page 25: Fire Extinguisher Training Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051521/58f2b98d1a28ab462d8b4575/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Readily visible at all times.
If visual obstruction cannot be avoided, include
additional signage, lights, or arrows.
An extinguisher on a wall that is visible from
most of the space would be considered
unobstructed.
![Page 26: Fire Extinguisher Training Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051521/58f2b98d1a28ab462d8b4575/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Never fight a fire if you don't know
what is burning
If you don't know what is burning, you don't
know what type of extinguisher to use.
Even if you have an ABC extinguisher, there
may be something in the fire which is going to
explode or produce highly toxic smoke.
![Page 27: Fire Extinguisher Training Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051521/58f2b98d1a28ab462d8b4575/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Never fight a fire if the fire is spreading
rapidly beyond the spot where it started
The time to use an extinguisher is in the
incipient, or beginning, stages of a fire.
If the fire is already spreading quickly, it is
best to simply evacuate the building,
closing doors and windows behind you as you leave.
![Page 28: Fire Extinguisher Training Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051521/58f2b98d1a28ab462d8b4575/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Never fight a fire if you do not
have appropriate equipment
If you don't have the correct type or large
enough extinguisher, it is best not to try to
fight the fire.
![Page 29: Fire Extinguisher Training Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051521/58f2b98d1a28ab462d8b4575/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Never fight a fire if you might inhale toxic
smoke
If the fire is producing large amounts of
smoke that you would have to breathe in
order to fight it, it is best not to try.
Gases from man made materials can be fatal
in very small amounts.

Never fight a fire if your instincts tell you not to
If you are uncomfortable with the situation for
any reason, just let the fire department do their
job.
![Page 31: Fire Extinguisher Training Final](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051521/58f2b98d1a28ab462d8b4575/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Always position yourself with an exit or means
of escape at your back before you attempt to
use an extinguisher to put out a fire
In case the extinguisher malfunctions, or
something unexpected happens, you need to be
able to get out quickly, and you don't want to
become trapped.
Always keep an exit at your back.
