You need to decide whether to fight a small fire using a portable fire extinguisher. Which situation indicates a small fire for which it may be appropriate to use a portable fire extinguisher?
The following situations indicate a small fire for which it may be appropriate to use a portable fire extinguisher:
When the fire has a visibly small span but it is difficult to approach it owing to the amount of heat being emitted by the fire.
If the smoke is spreading and is moving towards the ceiling leaving the lower part of the room less smokey and mostly visible.
If the fire is small and going in to extinguish the fire demands a piece of special equipment which cannot be carried in along with a large fire extinguisher.
