Never fight
a fire unless: (continued)
- You can get
out fast if you are unable to control the fire. Don't get trapped. Make
sure the fire is not between you and your exit.
- You have the
right extinguisher for what's burning. Read the label! Know what type of
extinguisher you have before there is a fire.
- The extinguisher
works effectively. Inspect extinguishers once a month for signs of damage,
corrosion, tampering and leaks.
- A partially
discharged extinguisher is an empty extinguisher.
