This course discusses how fires start and how they can be stopped, the different classes of fire, fire extinguisher types and ratings, when you should use a fire extinguisher, when you should evacuate, how to use a fire extinguisher (P-A-S-S), and fire extinguisher inspection and maintenance best practices.
