Now it's about fire extinguishers!

[AllWeatherGal]

1. Do you have one (or more)?

2. Where are they located?

3. When's the last time you checked them?

4. Have you ever used one in an emergency situation?

5. Have you received any training on how to use a fire extinguisher? Either reading a brochure, or CBT or instructor-led?

ok ... thanks all. I'm doing my project on (horse) stall cleaning.

1. No...:speechless:
2. At the store
3. I stop by occasionally and look at them
4. Nope
5. Yes!

 

[gonaads]

!. Yes x2 (At work x4)
2. Hallway and up stairs hallway (At work, they are everywhere)
3. Yesterday (At work, same)
4. Yes
5. Yes, but was a very very long time ago (but I still remember )

Another question you should ask is if they bought it or if it came with the home/apartment/flat. If bought, what made them decide on the one they bought.

Oooo, and for extra points if they know what rating it is and if they know what these ratings mean.

LOL ... no gonaads ... this survey is to gather data about the "need" for fire extinguisher training. I've found sites that say "if you don't know how, don't try it in an emergency situation" but no data that supports the implication that trying to use one when you haven't had training is worse than not using one at all.

I'll call the FD and see what they got to say about it. I want to do the CERT training this fall, anyway ... maybe I can ... uhh ... Leverage (yeah, thats it) some stuff from there.

Just really difficult identifying a true training need.

We were trained at work to use them, and for basic CPR and our emergency plans for almost everything.
