The PASS procedure is as follows: <br />ƒPull Pin: This unlocks the operating lever on the extinguisher and allows discharge of the <br />extinguisher. Some extinguishers may have other devices that prevent inadvertent operation. <br />ƒAim Low: Point the extinguisher nozzle (or hose) at the base of the fire. <br />ƒSqueeze: Squeeze the lever below the handle. This discharges the extinguishing agent. <br />Releasing the lever will stop the discharge. Some extinguishers have a button that can be pressed <br />for release of the extinguishing agent. <br />ƒSweep From Side to Side: Moving carefully toward the fire, keep the extinguisher aimed at the <br />base of the fire and sweep back and forth across the fire until the flames appear to be out. Watch <br />the fire area. If the fire reignites, repeat the process. <br />4. First Aid Procedures: <br />a. Smoke Inhalation: Remove the individual to fresh air immediately.
