LAHC staff puts fire extinguishers to good use during training event

Fort Rucker Army Base, AL — Though fire extinguishers are required in nearly any building, many people have never used or even held a fire extinguisher. Over the past two months, Lyster Army Health Clinic (LAHC) employees have had an opportunity to practice basic firefighting skills using a fire extinguisher to extinguish a small fire. This hands-on training allowed employees to physically employ the PASS method and refine their skills. With the assistance of the Fort Rucker Fire Department, the training taught employees how to choose the right fire extinguisher for a fire and how to use a fire extinguisher properly.
