Our March class was conducted by Steve Hodge
As a retired Fireman and Paramedic, Steve explained the different types of fires and which type of extinguisher to use for each. (Class A - Suitable for paper, wood & textiles. Class B - Suitable for flammable liquids. Class C - Suitable for flammable gasses. Class F - Suitable for cooking oil and fat) and how to properly use them.
We learned the acronym for remembering how to use a fire extinguisher. PASS, Pull the Pin, Aim the hose, Squeeze the handle, Sweep (spray) the area.
Many thanks for your time and knowledge Steve!
Our next class will be held on April 13th at 10am-12pm. Please join us out on the water as Cai will teach and demonstrate how to perform a man overboard rescue.
Thank you and Happy Sailing!
