When attempting to suppress a fire CERT members should?

When attempting to suppress a fire, CERT members should first ensure their own safety and that of others, assessing the situation and the fire's size. They should use appropriate fire extinguishers based on the type of fire (Class A, B, C, etc.) and aim to extinguish it from a safe distance while keeping an exit route clear. If the fire escalates or is beyond their control, they should evacuate the area and call emergency services immediately. Always prioritize personal safety over property.
