  FOLLOWING ARE TRUE
• Everyone has left or is leaving the building. The
  fire department or Public Safety is being
  called. The fire is small and confined to the
  immediate area where it was started (wastebasket,
  cushion, small appliance, etc.). You have a way
  out and can fight the fire with your back to your
  exit. Your extinguisher is rated for the class of
  fire at hand. You have had training in use of the
  fire extinguisher and are confident that you can
  operate it effectively. Stay low, Avoid breathing
  the heated smoke and fumes as well as the
  extinguishing agent. If you have the slightest
  doubt about whether or not to fight the fire -
  Dont fight it - instead, get out closing the
  door behind you.
