Quell Fire Extinguishers (cont.) How Many Fire Extinguishers Do I Need? You should have a fire extinguisher to cover each fire hazard area. Typically, fire hazard areas include the kitchen, laundry, barbeque, garage, car, caravan and boat.

Handy Hints Always store your extinguisher near an exit. That way, if the fire gets out of control, you can exit safely. Check your fire extinguisher regularly to ensure the pressure indicator is in the “green” and no loss of pressure has occurred. Never “test fire” your extinguisher as this will cause the extinguisher to lose pressure. Replace or recharge your extinguisher immediately after use.

How To Use Your Fire Extinguisher

Easy-to-use on a fire: Just remember the “P-A-S-S” method PULL AIM SQUEEZE Pull the pin on the fire extinguisher

Aim the fire extinguisher at the base of the fire, stand 2m (6ft) away from the fire

Squeeze the handle of the extinguisher

SWEEP Sweep the extinguisher left to right, while aiming at the base of fire
