“You have 10 seconds and one shot. Know how to use it.”

A portable fire extinguisher is the most commonly misused piece of safety equipment in any workplace. Grabbing the wrong type, aiming at the wrong place, or hesitating for two critical seconds can transform a small, manageable fire into a serious emergency. This specialized course builds the muscle memory and decision-making skills to use extinguishers correctly under pressure.

What You Will Learn

• Identify every extinguisher type (ABC, CO₂, wet chemical, dry powder, water) and its correct fire class
• Decode the numeric rating system (2A, 10B) to understand extinguisher effectiveness
• Execute the PASS technique (Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep) with precision and confidence
• Perform monthly visual inspections, document findings, and remove defective units from service
• Understand NFPA 10 maintenance schedules — monthly, annual, 6-year, and hydrostatic testing
• Determine when to fight a fire vs. when to evacuate immediately
• Position extinguishers correctly for NFPA 10 travel distance compliance

Who This Course Is For:  Mandatory for anyone designated to fight incipient-stage fires. Critical for all workplace safety-designated personnel, fire wardens, and maintenance staff.

Why It Matters:  Using a water extinguisher on a grease fire causes a violent steam explosion that can be fatal. This course ensures you make the right call in the moments that matter.
