When using a fire extinguisher, keep in mind the four-word mantra -
"Raise the grip"
Mention: Lift the fire extinguisher
Unplugging: Unplugging the safety pin
Grip: Hold the hose top nozzle
Press: Press down the handle on the root of the fire
Here, I would like to remind everyone
Fire extinguishers should be checked regularly
Make sure it works!
Regular check-ups
The fire extinguisher and fire hydrant should be checked and maintained regularly to be normal and effective, and the fire extinguisher will cause air leakage and decompression due to sun and rain, and it will malfunction and affect the extinguishing during emergency use. Pay attention to whether the pressure gauge of the fire extinguisher shows abnormality, the equipment is damaged, and the location and way of placing and storing it are improper, and it should be changed in time.
Pay attention to the age of the fire extinguisher
Fire extinguishers also have an expiration date, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers have a scrapping period of 12 years, dry chemical fire extinguishers have a scrapping period of 10 years, and water-based fire extinguishers have a scrapping period of 6 years. After the gas in the bottle expires, it is necessary to update the gas in time to the inflatable unit with relevant qualifications.
Precautions for all kinds of fire extinguishers
Water-based fire extinguishers should not be refilled after use. The water-based fire extinguisher has been in operation for 3 years, and needs to be maintained every 1 year after the first maintenance, which is what we call "3+1". When discarding after use, please puncture the tank first to facilitate the release of preset gas.
Wear gloves when using a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher to prevent frostbite from skin contact with the spray canister and jet hose. When using a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher to extinguish an electrical fire, if the voltage exceeds 600 volts, the power should be cut off before extinguishing the fire. When the CO2 fire extinguisher is used outdoors, it should be sprayed in the upwind direction. If it is used outdoors in a narrow space, the operator should leave quickly after extinguishing the fire to prevent suffocation.
