Drivers have you checked your fire extinguisher lately? DOT REGS state your extinguisher must be charged/full ready for use. If you have used the extinguisher you must get it serviced or replaced asap.
Take the extinguisher out if its holder and physically look at the gauage. Is it charged in the GREEN or in the RED meaning it needs service?
If it needs service, contact your DM OR SAFETY DEPT FOR ASSISTANCE.
REMEMBER P.A.S.S.
P – PULL THE PIN
A- AIM AT THE BASE OF THE FIRE
S-SQUEEZE THE HANDLE
S-SWEEP SIDE TO SIDE AND BACK AWAY FROM THE FIRE
NEVER TURN YOUR BACK TO THE FIRE.
