SUMMARY: A local business in Lowndes County, Mississippi, has donated surplus fire extinguishers to the volunteer fire department. The employee who came up with the idea believes it's important for people to have something to help them escape a fire, even if it doesn't completely put it out. The fire extinguishers are still effective despite having an expiration date for businesses.

Everyone is encouraged to have a fire extinguisher at home and to remember how to use it using the acronym PASS: Pull, Aim, Squeeze, and Sweep.
