Fire extinguisher

Fire extinguisher is a common fire protection equipment use for home and commercial places.   Inquire from a local supplier the best type of fire extinguisher for your home.  Once purchased, read carefully the instructions or ask the supplier for proper installation guidelines, and have them an actual demonstration with the family members.  With the help of the trainer, practice holding the fire extinguisher to have an idea of its weight and feel.

Fight the fire and use the extinguisher only with the following conditions :

If the fire is still on its early stage and still containable. 

if you know you have a means of escape in case the fire won’t out.          

Do not attempt to fight the fire if smoke is  filling the room already.  Secure yourself and get out of the house immediately.  Almost 70% of deaths from fire incidents are caused by suffocation from smoke and fumes.
