Cevap
The correct sequence for operating a fire extinguisher follows the PASS acronym: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep from side to side.
The PASS mnemonic is the universal standard protocol for operating a portable fire extinguisher safely and effectively. The correct, logical sequence requires the user to first Pull the locking pin to enable the device, then Aim the nozzle at the base (fuel) of the fire, Squeeze the handle to release the agent, and finally Sweep the nozzle from side to side to thoroughly coat the fire area.
