PASS on Fire Extinguisher Training


Pull [the Pin]
Aim
Squeeze
Sweep

the North Orange County Community College District requires that we all attend fire extinguisher training once a year. it was pretty fun.

the truth is, i've never used a fire extinguisher before - (fortunately, i've never had to). i figured it wasn't that hard. really... pull pin, aim, fire (or in this case, put out fire). that's pretty much what it was.





we learned about the basic elements of fire: heat, fuel, oxygen. if you remove one or more, you stop the reaction and stop the fire. :)

of course, putting out a fire is even more fun when you get to do it with friends. rob and lynette joined me in the training. yeah! i can't wait for next year.
