trigger.  If you are fighting a paper or wood (class A) type fire, be sure that you are aiming the extinguishing agent at the base of the flame and use a “sweeping” type motion.  If you are fighting a gasoline fire, the same technique will apply EXCEPT you must be cautious not disturb the layer of extinguishing agent that is covering the flammable liquid.

 

       Just because the flame is gone, does not mean the possibility of another fire is gone too.  With most fires, you must be sure that the embers or coals are dead.  Once the flames are controlled, be sure to soak them with water, the more the better.  On the other hand, with flammable liquid fires, be very careful not to disturb the top layer of the extinguishing agent.  If the liquid is exposed, the possibility of another fire starting is greater.

 

       Hopefully, the extinguisher will never NEED to be used, but as with most things, you never know in advance.  Keep the extinguisher handy, but at the same time secured.  Also, make sure that the extinguisher is in proper working order BEFORE you need to use it.  As a final note, do you have a fire extinguisher in or near your kitchen ate home?  Do you also have one in the garage?  Having extinguishers in these two places is just as important as having one in your vehicle and might save your house, garage, or even someone‘s life.
