A fire extinguisher is a portable device that is
used to extinguish or control small fires, often
in emergency situations.
It is important to be familiar with the different
types of fire extinguishers and how to use them
properly in case of a fire emergency.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF FIRE
EXTINGUISHER
There are several different types of fire extinguishers, each designed to be used on
specific types of fires.
For example, water extinguishers are designed to be used on fires caused by
combustible materials such as paper or wood, while CO2 extinguishers are
designed to be used on fires caused by electrical equipment.
It is important to know which type of extinguisher to use on different types of fires.

WHEN TO EVACUATE
In some cases, it may not be safe to use a fire extinguisher and you should
immediately evacuate the area.
This may be the case if the fire is spreading quickly, if the room is filling with
smoke, or if you are unsure about how to use the extinguisher properly.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Fire extinguishers should be inspected regularly to ensure they are in good working
order. This typically involves checking the pressure gauge to make sure the
extinguisher is fully charged, and inspecting the hose and nozzle for any signs of
damage.
It is also important to replace fire extinguishers after they have been used or if they
have reached their expiration date.
CONCLUSION
fire extinguishers are an important tool for fighting small
fires and can help prevent a fire from spreading. By
familiarizing yourself with the different types of
extinguishers and how to use them properly, you can help
keep yourself and others safe in case of a fire emergency.
