Fire extinguishers are crucial tools in fire safety, providing a first line of defence against small fires before they escalate into larger, more dangerous situations. Understanding how fire extinguishers work empowers you to act swiftly and effectively in the event of a fire emergency.

At Pro Secure, we are dedicated to fire safety and protection, and we’re here to guide you through the basics of fire extinguishers and why they are essential for every home and business.

Fire extinguishers operate on a simple principle: they remove one or more elements of the fire triangle to extinguish flames. The fire triangle consists of three components necessary for a fire to burn:

1. Heat: The fire’s heat provides the energy needed to sustain combustion.
2. Fuel: This is the material being burned, such as wood, paper, fabric, or flammable liquids.
3. Oxygen: Air provides the oxygen necessary for combustion.

How They Extinguish Fires

When you use a fire extinguisher, you follow the acronym “PASS”:

1. Pull: Pull the pin at the top of the extinguisher, breaking the seal.
2. Aim: Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire, not at the flames.
3. Squeeze: Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent.
4. Sweep: Sweep the nozzle from side to side, covering the base of the fire with the extinguishing agent.
