# Pull the pin at the top of the fire extinguisher, so you can spray it. If you don't, it won't spray. # Aim the nozzle to the bottom or base of the fire. # Stand about 8 feet away from the fire before you spray and squeeze the handle. # Sweep the nozzle back and forth while aiming at all times through the base.
