In the event of a fire, every second counts. In just 30 seconds, a small flame can grow out of control and turn into a major fire. In minutes, an entire building can be filled with thick, black smoke and toxic gases, and room temperatures can rise to over 600 °F (316 °C) at eye level.
This course discusses how fires start and how they can be stopped, the different classes of fire, fire extinguisher types and ratings, when you should use a fire extinguisher, when you should evacuate, how to use a fire extinguisher (P-A-S-S), and fire extinguisher inspection and maintenance best practices.
