Description

What is Co2 type Fire Extinguisher?

CO2 stands for carbon dioxide. As the name implies, this type of fire extinguisher uses carbon dioxide to kill fires. CO2 fire extinguishers are also classified as Class B fire extinguishers.

 

There are four basic operating steps. Think of the word “PASS” to remember the steps.

P- Pull the Pin

A- Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire

S- Squeeze the handle

S- Sweep the side to side

 

Additional instructions:

 

Pull the pin. Holding the extinguisher by the handle with the nozzle pointing away from you, pull out the pin located below the trigger. Note: Lifting the extinguisher by the handle will not activate the CO2 stream.

Aim low. Standing up to 10 feet away from the fire, point the extinguisher discharge horn at the front edge of the base of the fire (the lowest point of the fire nearest you). Remember – extinguishers are designed to be operated in an upright position. Always hold the extinguisher vertically. Never cradle it horizontally or at an angle in your arms. If the extinguisher is too heavy to hold properly, place on the floor next to you and operate.

Squeeze the trigger. Squeeze slowly and evenly. This action will release CO2 and expel it through the discharge horn.

Sweep from side to side. As the CO2 is expelled, sweep the hose from side to side. As the fire closest to you goes out, you may move closer to the fire and continue the sweeping motion until the fire is extinguished. Continue discharging to prevent reignition. Remember, hold or place the extinguisher upright. If the fire does not diminish immediately, get out of the building.
