It's best to just have the courage to use a fire extinguisher to fight the fire when the fire is still about the size of a campfire, he said. The extinguisher is used in a crouched position for self-protection and is applied to the area at the source of the fire. After each successful attempt to extinguish the fire, there was applause from colleagues.
