A&J Fire Extinguisher, a leading Brooklyn, New York-based fire extinguisher inspection and supplier company providing products and services for all of NYC’s fire protection needs, recently outlined the proper and safe ways to use fire extinguisher equipment. Because it only takes a few minutes for a spark to explode into a blaze, knowing when and how to use an extinguisher was first and foremost on A&J representatives’ list for helping to save lives and property.

Sales associates and other team members of A&J staff are quick to point out that fire extinguishers can indeed be helpful in small fires, but encourage people to get properly trained on how to use the apparatus. “Contacting the FDNY for training on how to use and maintain fire extinguishers should be a priority for safety-conscious New Yorkers – whether of the residential or commercial kind,” said one such A&J Fire Extinguisher rep.

According to A&J staff, there are generally five main types of extinguishers – Classes A through D and K, with each designed to be effective in a different kind of fire. Class A extinguishers are labeled for use with ordinary materials including wood, cloth and paper, while Class B apparatuses can be used with flammable and combustible liquids such as gasoline, grease or oil. Class C extinguishers, meanwhile, are marked for use with electrical equipment such as tools or appliances.

What’s more, A&J staff stress that according to the U.S. Fire Administration, the ideal way of remembering how to use a fire extinguisher is to think of the word “PASS:” Pull the pin and point the nozzle away from the user, Aim low toward the base of the flames, Squeeze the lever steadily and slowly and Sweep the nozzle from side to side.

As a top fire extinguisher service company in New York City, A&J Fire Extinguisher provides products and applications for all fire protection needs, taking advantage of the latest technology to keep standard equipment up-to-date and in compliance with the burgeoning fire code laws of “The Big Apple.”
