Fire Extinguisher

It may be possible to put out a small fire using a portable fire extinguisher. Follow these guidelines when using a fire extinguisher.

• Activate the nearest fire alarm pull station.
• Do not take unnecessary risks or put yourself in danger.
• Stay 6 to 8 feet away from the fire.
• Use the PASS process to deploy the fire extinguisher:
• Pull the pin.
• Aim at the base of the flame.
• Squeeze the lever.
• Sweep the extinguisher slowly back and forth.
• If the fire is not put out by the extinguisher, leave the area immediately.
• Contact LCC Police immediately (dial 911) upon reaching an area of safety.
