Alas, here I am once again, doing my second post of the evening. Wow, the many things I do in a week! Haha. So during this intense week of RA training we've had so far (with another week and a half to go!), I've learned many things, the most fun of which being how to use a fire extinguisher.
Okay, so it's really not that hard. But I'd never done it before.
Everyone, I'm sure, has a general idea of how to use a fire extinguisher.
Step #1: break it out of the plastic box in the hall and take it to the location of the fire.
Step #2: Pull out pin on extinguisher.
Step #3: Aim nozzle-like thing at said fire.
Step #4: Squeeze handle until puffy white stuff comes out and the fire disappears.
Well, simple though it may be, when you have about 70 people watching you put out the nicely controlled fire, it can be slightly awkward. Especially when your extinguisher runs out of extinguishing liquid. Yes, mine ran out. Fortunately for me, there were a couple Campus Safety people there with extra extinguishers, refilling them. And also fortunate, I put out the fire.
