#8. How To Use A Fire Extinguisher (And Actually Survive)
Imagine this terrifying scenario: a tiny grease fire suddenly erupts on your kitchen stove. Panic instantly sets in! Most adults will just stare at that heavy red canister on the wall like it is a complicated piece of ALIEN TECHNOLOGY. But knowing how to actually operate a fire extinguisher can literally save your home, your family, and your life! The absolute golden rule is simple: only fight a fire if it is small, contained, and you have a clear, safe escape route behind you.
If the flames are rapidly spreading, forget being a hero and GET OUT IMMEDIATELY! For the small fires, memorize the life-saving PASS method: Pull the pin, Aim directly at the BASE of the fire (not the top of the flames), Squeeze the handle firmly, and Sweep rapidly from side to side. It takes five seconds to learn but lasts a lifetime!
WARNING: Using the wrong type of extinguisher on a kitchen grease fire will actually cause a massive explosion! Do you know which letter to look for on the label?
