HOW TO FIGHT FIRE

Fighting fire can be dangerous, and it's important to have the proper training
and equipment before attempting to put out a fire. Here are some general
steps you can take if you need to fight a fire:

1. Call for help: Alert the fire department by dialing the emergency number for
your area. Even if you think you can handle the fire, it's always a good idea to
have backup.
2. Assess the situation: Determine the size and type of fire, and whether it is safe
to fight the fire. If the fire is too large or spreading too quickly, evacuate the
area and wait for the fire department.
3. Use a fire extinguisher: If the fire is small and contained, you can try using a
fire extinguisher. Remember to use the PASS method: Pull the pin, Aim the
nozzle at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep the nozzle from
side to side.
4. Use water: If the fire is larger or the extinguisher isn't working, you can try
using water to put out the fire. Use a hose or bucket of water to douse the
flames, aiming at the base of the fire and avoiding electrical sources.
5. Smother the fire: If water isn't available or isn't working, you can try
smothering the fire with a heavy blanket or sand.

Remember to always prioritize your safety and the safety of those around you
when fighting a fire. If the fire is too large or dangerous, evacuate the area and
wait for the fire department to arrive.
