If a situation ever arises where a fire extinguisher is required, homeowners can use the simple acro- nym PASS to guide them in how to use it properly, as follows: • Pull: The first step is to pull the pin. This will allow you to squeeze the handle. • Aim: Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire. • Squeeze: Squeeze the handle to spray. You have about 30 sec- onds, so make it count. • Sweep: While spraying, move (or sweep) back and forth, aiming at the base of the fire. Be aware that you cannot use an extinguisher for a large fire. This tool simply does not have the power to put it out. Rather, an ex- tinguisher is meant for putting out and controlling smaller fires be- fore they develop into a larger and more dangerous one. "Always place fire extinguishers in areas where they are easily ac- cessible," says Wayne Ross, an in- surance expert with Aviva Canada. "Put them in locations where a risk of a fire is the greatest."
