Provide them with specific details about the location and any known hazards.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Use a Fire Extinguisher (If Safe)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Only attempt to use a fire extinguisher if the fire is small, contained, and in the early stages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure you know how to use the extinguisher properly, remembering the PASS technique: <strong>Pull<\/strong> the pin, <strong>Aim<\/strong> low at the base of the fire, <strong>Squeeze<\/strong> the lever slowly, and <strong>Sweep<\/strong> the nozzle side to side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Evacuate Immediately<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If the fire cannot be extinguished quickly and safely, evacuate the area immediately.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the nearest safe exit or emergency exit route.
