Our Golden, Wheat Ridge, and Evergreen team has been restoring fire damage for over forty years in Golden. Owning and knowing how to operate a home fire extinguisher can save lives. Here are some tips from the National Fire Protection Association for selecting and using a fire extinguisher:  

• For the home, choose a multi-purpose extinguisher (which can be used on all types of home fires) that is large enough to put out a small fire but not so heavy as to be difficult to handle
• Select a fire extinguisher that carries the label of an independent testing laboratory
• Read the instructions that come with the fire extinguisher and become familiar with its parts and operation before a fire breaks out. Local fire departments or fire equipment distributors often offer hands-on fire extinguisher trainings.
• Install fire extinguishers close to an exit and keep your back to a clear exit when you use the device so you can make an easy escape if the fire cannot be controlled. If the room fills with smoke, leave immediately.
• Know when to go. Fire extinguishers are one element of a fire response plan, but the primary element is safe escape. Every household should have a home fire escape plan and working smoke alarms.
