This Recert course discusses the primary purpose of portable fire extinguishers. Despite today’s climate of technological advances, and newer, bigger, and more sophisticated apparatus and equipment, this simple yet valuable tool warrants a second look as a first line of defense for fire fighters. It also defines Class A, B, C, D, and K fires, and identifies the safe and effective suppression methods for each. In addition, students will be able to explain the care and maintenance of portable fire extinguishers, including recharging and hydrostatic testing.
