Fires may start small but under the right conditions a fire can spread out of control in a matter of minutes and become catastrophic and tragic.

If you discover a fire, evaluate the situation quickly.  With a small controlled fire, you may be able to put it out with your extinguisher if you know how to handle one. But never underestimate the danger from fire.  If you're not sure you can manage it, let the Fire Department do the work.
