Pull the pin – by pulling the pin, the operating lever should unlock and allow you to discharge the extinguisher.

Aim low – point the extinguisher hose/nozzle at the base of the fire.

Squeeze the lever – this should discharge the extinguishing agent. Some extinguishers may have a button or other means of activation.

Sweep from side to side – while you are aiming at the base of the fire, you should sweep back and forth until the fire is extinguished. If the fire re-ignites, repeat the process.

Pictured above is the kitchen of a local restaurant SERVPRO had the opportunity to work on this past weekend. Our technicians had their hands full with one, but this server kitchen fire didn't stand a chance at slowing us down. After pictures to follow.  

The Benefits of Our Restoration-Focused Approach

We can salvage many irreplaceable items. While an insurance adjuster can easily come in and provide you with a dollar value for everything in your home, we understand that it is not always that simple. Objects such as family heirlooms and photographs could never be replaced for any amount of money, which is why we will do everything we are able to restore them instead.

Fire extinguishers are a great tool to have to keep small fires from becoming big fires. However, they should only be used in certain instances, as illustrated in this photo.
