Fire extinguisher is a portable fire extinguishing tool. Chemicals were put in the fire extinguisher to put out the fire. Fire extinguisher is one of the common fire prevention facilities. They are stored in public places or places where fires may occur. Different types of fire extinguishers contain different components and are specially designed for different fires. Care must be taken to avoid counterproductive and dangerous use.
The world's first fire extinguisher was born in London on 1834. A fire almost completely destroyed the old Westminster Palace, where the British Parliament Building is located. Among many firewatch, there is one person who has not been idle to see the fire scene. He is George William Manby. Born in Norfolk, Mamby joined the army when he was young, from officer to captain, and served as commander of Yarmouth Camp. This idle position enabled him to devote himself to the cause of saving human lives that strongly attracted him.
Previously, he was keen on shipwreck rescue. He invented the life buoy in the shape of trousers, and was the first person to put forward the identification signal by flashing the lighthouse. Later, Manby turned his genius from ocean rescue to fire rescue. He was trying on a fire suit when the fire broke out. His most outstanding pioneering contribution is the invention of a portable compressed gas fire extinguisher, which is a copper cylinder with a length of two feet, a diameter of eight inches and a capacity of four gallons, which is basically the same as today's fire extinguishers.
He put the fire extinguisher in his specially designed trolley. He hopes that the patrol equipped with this fire extinguisher can immediately put out small fires at the scene of the fire, thus reducing the number of major fires.
