Most extinguishers have a pressure gauge which has a Red Zone marked for full pressure. Just look to see if the needle indicated pressure at near the Full mark. Also, most extinguishers are filled with powder. This powder can pack down and cake when not agitated. It is a good idea to turn the extinguisher over, upside down several times. You will feel the powder move about inside the housing.

How would one use a fire extinguuisher?

As a sea captain I know this one. Aim your fire extinguisher at the base of the flame. This will cool and choke off air to the fire. If the fire is an electrical fire you should first cut off the exectrical power. Then use the fire extinguisher. If the fire is an oil fire keep in mind that it can reflash. Try to use a foam fire extinguisher to choke off the air.
