In emergency fire situations, follow the R.A.C.E. method: Rescue anyone in danger, Activate the fire alarm, Confine the fire if safe, and Evacuate the premises. Understand the different classes of fire extinguishers: A for ordinary combustibles, B for flammable liquids, C for electrical fires, D for specific metals, and K for cooking oils. Use the P.A.S.S. technique when deploying an extinguisher: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep side to side. Remember, always prioritize your safety.
