Where should you aim a fire extinguisher nozzle when putting out a fire? Correct Answer At the base of the fire
Explanation:
Use a Fire Extinguisher
It is easy to remember how to use a fire extinguisher if you can remember the acronym PASS, which stands for PULL, AIM, SQUEEZE, and SWEEP.
- Pull the pin.
- This will allow you to discharge the fire extinguisher.
- Aim at the base of the fire.
- If you aim at the flames (which is usually the temptation), the extinguisher agent will fly right through and do no good. You have to hit the fuel
- Squeeze the top handle or lever.
- This depresses a button that releases the pressurized extinguishing agent in the extinguisher.
- Sweep from side to side until the fire is completely out.
- Start using the extinguisher from a safe distance away moving forward while sweeping the nozzle from side to side. Once the fire is out, keep an eye on the area in case it re-ignites.
