How am I
supposed to extinguish a fire with a fire extinguisher if I
never actually used one before?
You should only use a fire extinguisher if you are trained and
confident about using one. The department of EOHSS offers hands-on
fire extinguisher training several times a year. This event
is coordinated with the Newark Fire department and an outside
vendor. You get to actually implement "PASS" and use
a fire extinguisher on a small, controlled pan fire. Remember,
"PASS" stands for "P"ull the pin, "A"im
low, "S"queeze the handle, and "S"weep from side
to side. The vendor has available each type of fire extinguisher
that is in the Hospital. For further information on hands-on
fire extinguisher training, contact EOHSS at 2-4812.
