Hazards vary by area
Kitchens, workshops, mechanical rooms, offices, storage areas, service spaces, and public corridors may involve different equipment and different risks.

Extinguisher awareness should reinforce the fire safety plan, warden training, reporting expectations, and drill procedures instead of standing alone.
