Remember the acronym "PASS":
Pull the pin.
Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.
Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent.
Sweep from side to side, covering the fire with the extinguishing agent.
Stand approximately 6-8 feet away from the fire and approach it cautiously.
After the fire is extinguished, watch for re-ignition and evacuate if necessary.
