Real-life moms and real-life fires

By Whitney

I have a fire extinguisher under my sink, but I must confess that my confidence in my ability to use it is low. When I saw mom blogger Real Life Sarah’s video demonstrating her visit to UL and the fire extinguisher practice she got to experience, I was envious!

The PASS acronym she describes is a helpful way to remember the steps to using a fire extinguisher.

-Pull the pin
- Aim at the base of the fire
-Squeeze the trigger
-Sweep back and forth

If you DON’T have an extinguisher or two in your home, what are you waiting for?! Order one online!
