Different Kinds of Extinguishers The 4 most common fire extinguishers: All Purpose Water Carbon Dioxide Multi-Purpose Dry Chemical Dry Powder Each kind of extinguisher has a specific use

All Purpose Water Use on CLASS A fires Pressurized water Pressure gauge present

When NOT to Fight a Fire! Remember to keep an exit to your back Only fight a fire in the incipient stage

Most Important Slide NEVER fight a fire if any of the following apply: Don’t have the proper extinguisher or equipment Fire has spread beyond its point of origin Your instincts tell you GET OUT

your life may depend on it! Emergency Procedures In the Event of Fire Pull nearest alarm station Immediately exit the building If you hear an alarm DO NOT assume it is a drill, your life may depend on it!

Emergency Procedures Building Evacuation Proceed to nearest exit in an orderly fashion Assemble at least 100 feet from building Provide emergency crews with information about people still in the building Provide information to emergency crews about the reason for evacuation Never re-enter a building until instructed to by the police department, fire department, or EHS staff.
