I know I wasn't the only one that noticed that! It's that device that beeps if firefighter is down too long. I remembered it from the episode when ripley died so now I was super confused too at that answer?
I think the PASS stands for Pull, Aim, Squeeze, Sweep for a Fire Exstinguisher, think about it, pull the pin out of the lock, aim where you want to douse the fire, squeese the nozzle to activate the foam or liquid from the extinguisher and sweep to get the fire out efffectly and efficiently.
