The first thing you must do is make sure you can get out safely if you are unable to stop the fire with the extinguisher.

The second thing is to determine what type of fire it is so you choose the proper type of fire extinguisher. Do not consider a fire extinguisher if the fire is more than waist high or larger than 10 square feet -- leave immediately.

The next thing is to get between the fire and your primary exit and use the extinguisher on the fire.
