The flames are no higher than the firefighter's head. Fire Extinguisher / Prevention Page 13

14 Portable fire extinguishers apply an extinguishing agentthatwill that either Cool burning fuel Displace or remove oxygen How Fire Extinguishers Eti ih Work Stop the chemical reaction so a fire cannot continue to burn When the handle of an extinguisher is compressed, it opens an inner canister of high pressure gas that forces the extinguishing agentfromthemain the main cylinder through a siphon tube and out the nozzle DISTRICT SAFETY TRAINING PROGRAM Fire Extinguisher / Prevention Page 14

15 For a fire extinguisher to be effective...the following conditions must be met The extinguisher must be right for the type of fire It must be located where it can be easily reached It must be in good working order The fire must be discovered while it is still small The person using the extinguisher must be trained to use it properly Fire Extinguisher / Prevention Page 15
