How should I use a fire extinguisher in the right sequence?

Explanation:
Pull the pin to break the tamper seal and ready the extinguisher for discharge. Then aim the nozzle at the base of the fire, where the fuel source is, so you attack the fire where it’s burning from. Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent. Finally, sweep the nozzle from side to side at the base of the fire, moving across the fuel source until the flames are out or you can retreat safely. This sequence ensures you start the discharge, target the fire’s fuel, release the agent, and blanket the base to prevent re-ignition. If the fire is beyond small and contained, evacuate and call emergency services.
