Fire Extinguisher Class

It may seem like a no brainer, but often times operating a fire extinguisher can be a daunting task, given the stress involved at the time when the device would be needed. To help prepare residents for such an occasion, the Green River Fire Department held a fire extinguisher operation class for about 100 Green River city employees. During the course, which is mandated by OSHA, the employees learned how to operate a fire extinguisher safely. Assistant Fire Chief Dea Cargile said class participants watched a video showing the correct way to use an extinguisher. Before even trying to put out a fire, call the fire department for help, Cargile cautioned.
