Pass!: When It's Time To Use A Fire Extinguisher, Just Remember

To properly use a fire extinguisher, remember the acronym PASS which stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep. Pull the pin, aim the nozzle at the base of the fire from a safe distance, squeeze the lever to discharge the agent, then sweep from side to side until the fire is completely out while watching for re-ignition.
