Fire Extinguisher SafetyTips

This ensures you can access it quickly in an emergency without having to reach through flames or a hot zone. Ideally, mount it on a wall 4–5 feet off the ground, within easy reach. Also: Make sure it’s clearly visible and unobstructed Check the pressure gauge monthly Keep it up-to-date and know how to use it (PASS: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep)
