A fire extinguisher can help with a very small fire, but it is not a substitute for evacuation. Renters should know the limits before trying to use one.
Basic tips
- Choose a multipurpose extinguisher suitable for home use.
- Keep it visible and easy to reach.
- Read the instructions before an emergency.
- Only use it with a clear exit behind you.
- Leave immediately if the fire grows or smoke increases.
