Final answer:

The PASS acronym stands for Pull the pin, Aim at the base, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep from side to side. It's a simple set of instructions for properly operating a fire extinguisher.

Step-by-step explanation:

When using a fire extinguisher, PASS is an acronym that stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep. Here's what each step signifies:

  • Pull - Pull the pin to break the tamper seal.
  • Aim - Aim the nozzle or hose at the base of the fire from a safe distance.
  • Squeeze - Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent.
  • Sweep - Sweep the nozzle from side to side at the base of the fire until it is extinguished.
