FMCSA amended 393.95 twice in 2026, both times by deletion: liquid-burning flares ceased to be an accepted warning device in March, and the spare-fuse requirement was removed in April. This guide gives what the section still requires, the extinguisher ratings and condition rules, and the 392.22 placement patterns for every road type.

A fire blanket cannot satisfy an OSHA extinguisher requirement - 29 CFR 1910.157 governs portable fire extinguishers and does not mention blankets at all, and a blanket carries no class or capacity rating. This guide covers the rating gap, the two jobs a blanket genuinely does better, and where it is the wrong tool entirely.

A facility safety checklist answers a different question from a crew checklist: not what the shift does, but what the building must provide. This walkthrough covers walking surfaces, egress, eyewash and emergency equipment, electrical, storage and signage, tags each item with its OSHA paragraph, and ends with a worked pass over one floor.

Most workplace fires start small enough to stop with a portable extinguisher, but only when you pick the right class and use it correctly. This guide explains the PASS method step by step, decodes fire classes A through K, walks through a real ABC unit, and covers the OSHA training rule and when to evacuate.
