This will vary depending on your state laws. In my state, to damage someone else's fire fighting equipment is a very serious misdemeanor, and can get you 12 months in jail. Same thing applies to pulling a fire alarm when there is no fire.
Answer by Regan MorbenStep one - Check gauge to see if it is charged, you don't want to go near a fire with an empty extinguisher,Step two - Locate and pull pin near trigger. You cannot discharge the extinguisher until the pin is out.Step three - Test extinguisher by discharging a small burst in front of your feet, once again you don't want to go near a fire with a non functioning extinguisher.Step four - Approach fire and and aim at base of the flames, not the flames themselves. Sweep side to side until fire is out or extinguisher is depleted.
Not if there is a fire that you are trying to extinguish with it. Otherwise, it would likely be a vandalism or "malicious mischief" crime, not to mention possibly putting lives and property at risk of a real fire. If they do not have a working fire extinguisher because of your illegal actions, you would be held liable for anything bad that happens to them.
