General Info

Ace has six ABC multipurpose dry chemical type fire extinguishers and one BC type CO2 fire extinguisher in Laser. General information about the types and uses of fire extinguishers can be found here.

What to do ANY TIME you use a fire extinguisher

• For large fires and electrical fires, CALL 911 FIRST!
• For small fires that you can successfully put out on your own using an extinguisher, be sure to document when, where, and how the fire started.
• Post in the relevant Slack channel that there has been a fire and mark tools down using /asset and signage.
• Ping @facilities and @officers on Slack and let them know there has been a fire.
• Label the discharged fire extinguisher with blue tape and set it aside in Org Storage in 113 so Ops can have it recharged and replaced.
