Part of recharging a fire extinguisher is taking all of the old stuff out. So you should ask if they give training on how to fire one when they need to be recharged. My work offered it and I jumped at the chance.
There are three things you need to know:
1.) Know where the fire extinguishers are kept beforehand.
2.) Use a sweeping motion to distribute the retardant.
3.) Send someone to grab the next extinguisher immediately. Your extinguisher will have about 15-30 seconds of juice before it runs out.
