How a Fire Extinguisher Works for Kids Aged 5

What is a Fire Extinguisher?

A fire extinguisher is a special tool that helps to put out fires. It is like a big spray bottle but filled with something that can stop fire!

How Does it Work?

1. Step 1: Get Ready - If there's a fire, you need to be careful. Always tell an adult first!
2. Step 2: Hold the Extinguisher - You should hold the fire extinguisher with both hands. It is a bit heavy, like carrying a big toy!
3. Step 3: Pin Out - There is a small pin on top. Pull it out. It’s like unlocking a door to let the magic out!
4. Step 4: Aim the Hose - Point the hose at the bottom of the fire. Aiming is like playing with a water gun, but it helps stop fire instead!
5. Step 5: Squeeze the Handle - Press the handle down. This makes the special stuff come out and go towards the fire!

Remember!

Fire extinguishers are tools for grown-ups to use when they see fire. Always let an adult handle it if there's a fire!
