Due to the nature of my subject understanding an knowing how to control a fire extinguisher is actually quiet important. Before going into this training i thought i knew what to do, but actually i really don't.
Key points to remember
1. don't hold down handle until ready to fire
2. remove the pin
3. make sure the extinguisher is held in an up right position
4. release slow and steady, sweeping over the area of the fire, aiming for the base of it.
something that i did not know that i went back to the room and checked was that different models have different purposes. The guys final piece of advice was, if you are unsure then get out and sound the alarm.
