All Type of Fire Extinguisher
A fire extinguisher is a portable device to extinguish a fire by discharging the incredible burning heat to control the fire. Chemist Ambrose Godfrey invented the first fire extinguisher in 1723. After that, numerous types of fire extinguishers were invented and developed. From then to now, one formula will always remain the same, and those four elements must exist for a fire. These elements include oxygen, heat, fuel and a chemical reaction. Removing one of the four elements in the “fire triangle” can extinguish the fire. Usually, a fire extinguisher is a small size fire safety cylinder which you can handle with your hands to extinguish the fire.
