The Belton Fire Department taught the Nurse Aide Training Class how to use fire extinguishers as part of their course.  Each trainee was shown the basics and then had to use the four steps (P.A.S.S. – Pull the Pin, Aim at the base of the fire, Squeeze the trigger, Sweep from side to side) to extinguish a controlled burn supervised by the firemen.
