Fire Extinguishment, Control or Confinement
In the event a small fire cannot be extinguished with the use of a portable fire
extinguisher or the smoke presents a hazard for the operator, the door to the area should
be closed to confine and contain the fire. Leave the fire area. Ensure that the Fire Alarm
System has been activated and that the Nelson Fire & Rescue Services has been notified
prior to an attempt to extinguish the fire. Only those persons who are trained and familiar
with extinguisher operation may attempt to fight the fire.
Suggested Operation of Portable Fire Extinguishers
Remember the (PASS):
P - Pull the safety pin
A - Aim the nozzle
S - Squeeze the trigger handle
S - Sweep from side to side (watch for fire restarting)
Never re-hang extinguishers after use. Ensure they are properly recharged by a person that
is qualified to service portable fire extinguishers and that a replacement extinguisher is
provided.
Keep extinguishers in a visible area without obstructions around them.
NOTE:
Prior to using a K-type extinguisher, activate the kitchen extinguishing system
to avoid electrocution.
