Basic Safety Subject

Yesterday in our Basic Safety Subject, Sir Boatswain Gonzales taught us on how to kill fire using water fire extinguisher. First, he told us that before anything else, we should take out the pin of the fire extinguisher and check the gage. Before approaching the fire, we should test if the fire extinguisher is working, then we should hold the nozzle in downward position. When approaching the fire we should bend our body so that when the fire becomes larger it will not harm our face. When killing the fire, we should sweep the nozzle to the base of the fire and not to the wall so that the fire will not spread. In case the gage of the fire extinguisher is pointing in recharge label, we should always have extra fire extinguisher.
