The second way the acronym PASS can be applied is to fire extinguisher usage. It is used as a way to assist someone in recalling the correct operation of the device. Here's the list:
P - Pull the pin.
A - Aim the nozzle at the base of the flames.
S - Squeeze the trigger while holding the extinguisher upright.
S - Sweep the nozzle from side to side and outward to extinguish flames.
PASS. A simple acronym with the power to make anyone an expert with an extinguisher, and a most capable "first responder" when the red stuff shows its face.
A link might help. Look below and you'll find one to the University of Oklahoma's primer on extinguishers. Scroll down to the section on extinguisher use. It's all there in an easy-to-read format.
An individual who has the competence and confidence to grab and (correctly) use a fire extinguisher in the first few seconds after the ignition of a fire is worth several engine compaines, a couple of truck companies, a squad, an auxilary support unit, and the duty chief. All of that.
