Steps Of How To Use A Fire Extinguisher Knowing the steps of how to use a fire extinguisher before a fire occurs could be the difference between successfully extinguishing the fire or the fire getting out of control. Fire extinguishers should only be used in the following circumstances: Once evacuation has been initiated. When the fire service has been called.

Fire is a chemical reaction which needs three things to be present so it can happen:  OXYGEN + HEAT + FUEL = FIRE If one of these is not present, the fire cannot start. If one of these were taken from a fire, it would go out. But how does this all work? The parts of the fire triangle are these: Heat, Fuel and Oxygen. These three parts are required for a fire to be present, so to secure against or put out a current fire we should eliminate a minimum of one of the aspects. Various extinguisher types are created to get rid of several of those components to put out a fire. As an example, water removes heat and foam can stop oxygen from getting in touch with fire by covering it similar to a blanket. To cut out the fuel source might be more difficult.
