Course Overview

You’ve grabbed the fire extinguisher. Now, do you know how to use it without making things worse?

In an emergency, instinct tells you to aim for the flames. That is a critical mistake. This training short cuts through the panic to teach you the P.A.S.S. method, the industry-standard technique that ensures you hit the fire where it counts.

But before you pull that pin, there are rules. We explain why identifying your exit route is more important than fighting the fire and the specific conditions that signal you to stop. If your extinguisher runs dry and the fire is still burning, do you know the immediate next step? Watch this video to master the mechanics of suppression and, more importantly, learn exactly when to drop the equipment and run.

No Worries. Here's Some Helpful Info.

The P.A.S.S. technique is an acronym for the four steps of using a fire extinguisher: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep from side to side.

The first step, when appropriate, is to sound the fire alarm and call emergency personnel (e.g., 9-1-1).

You should aim the nozzle or discharge hose down toward the base of the fire, focusing the extinguishing media on the material that is actually burning.

You should stop and evacuate if the fire progresses past the incipient stage, if the extinguisher is empty with no replacement, or if you have any doubt about your ability to safely fight the fire.

The key steps are sounding the alarm/calling emergency personnel, identifying a safe evacuation path, and selecting the appropriate extinguisher.
