Pull - Pull the pin on top

Aim - Aim the hose at the base of the fire

Squeeze - Squeeze the handle

Sweep - Sweep at the base of the fire until out

If it doesn't work, drop extinguisher, and run for your life, or walk if it isn't an emergency.

Make sure to call 911!!!

PASS is an acronym used for two things in firefighting.

Regarding fire extinguishers, Pull, Aim, Spray, Sweep is the suggested method for extinguishing a fire. Pull the pin, Aim the extinguisher at the base of the fire, Spray the chemical at the fire, and Sweep from side to side.

Regarding firefighting equipment, the Personal Alert Safety System is a device that is designed to sound an alarm when a firefighter has not moved in a set amount of time. These can be integrated with the SCBA (the Self Contained Breathing Apparatus), and they act to alert firefighters to find and rescue a firefighter that has been incapacitated.
