The Easy-to-find Fire Extinguisher

Posted on 11/03/2015 by Troy Turner

If a fire broke out in your office or apartment building, would you know the location of your fire extinguisher? Probably not! You’d likely be in such a panic that you’d also be less concerned with looking for it. The “I’m Here” extinguisher takes these factors in to account & features a built in smoke detector that triggers audible & visible light alarms that not only warn you of fire, but make locating the extinguisher easy. Better yet, the light doubles as a flashlight so you can make your way to safety at night or in heavy smoke.

The Fire Warrior

Posted on 16/12/2014 by Radhika Seth

The Fire – Warrior is a fire extinguisher design that features a sensor that recognizes drop in pressure and increase in temperature due to the fire. This triggers the drive mechanism within to tilt and intuitively be ready for use and portability. Simply roll the canister and spray when required.

Superfast Extinguisher

Posted on 13/11/2014 by Radhika Seth

Designed to be rolled on the floor as you run towards extinguishing a flame, the O-Extinguisher is easier to move than traditional one. It even discharges a larger amount of fire suppressants to douse a fire. Super clever and super fast, this is a concept that I’d like to see move to the next level. Any takers?

You can pretty much buy anything Hello Kitty these days and home safety equipment is no exception. So, let’s say your Hello Kitty candle started your Hello Kitty curtains on fire, what’s a better way to put them out than with your Hello Kitty fire extinguisher?

These are available for purchase through Sanrio in three different designs. Normal fire extinguishers will run you about $40, these are little more pricey at closer to $90.

Hello Kitty Fire Extinguishers: Sanrio Fire Department

Posted on 04/06/2014 by Conner Flynn

Does Japan love anything as much as they love Hello Kitty? So, you have your five million Hello Kitty items all displayed in one room. It just looks like a pink bow-tie bomb exploded. Your Hello Kitty lighter display falls on the floor and one of them ignites. What do you do? Well, you reach for your hello kitty fire extinguisher of course.

If you can find it in your hoarder’s mass of Hello Kitty merchandise, that is. That’s right, Hello Kitty themed fire extinguishers are a thing that exists. So now you can fight fires with cute. And if it doesn’t work and you get burnt, you can always apply some Hello Kitty bandages.

These extinguishers come in three designs and sell for ¥9180 (~$90 USD).

Fire By Design

Our typical fire extinguishers are bare minimum in design. They serve only one purpose: fire dousing. There is a little more that can be added, particularly in the form of protection. The Shield Extinguisher attempts to do this by bridging the gap between fire fighting and protecting one from flames, smoke and possible blasts. Take a look how…

The Fireguard

Posted on 25/02/2014 by Troy Turner

As simple as it is, the classic fire extinguisher is intimidating and confusing to use. It’s also cumbersome and large, meaning most people won’t keep it handy (if they keep one at all). The Fireguard was created to combat these problems with a compact, easier to use, friendly design that’s right at home in the kitchen where most fires start. See how it works —>

Fireguard is activated with a motion much more natural than pulling a pin- instead, simply pull the lever and you’re ready to go. The inside is also assembled with two separate canisters, allowing them to be individually refilled or recycled, so nothing has to be thrown away anymore.

Fire Bombs

Posted on 23/01/2014 by Radhika Seth

Love this clever design for a Fire Extinguisher! It has several water bombs – or balls if you’d like to call them that, which can be used instantly for small fires. It’s definitely a radical redesign that I’m seeing for the first time. Several tweaks to it and you can have a brand new take on how to put out fires!

Fire Away!

Posted on 12/08/2013 by Troy Turner

I’m a little embarrassed to admit I have no idea how to use a common fire extinguisher… but I know I’m not the only one! While I’m sure it’s somewhat basic, compared to the SafeHome extinguisher, it’s way more complicated. Just pull the pin to release the trigger, point in the direction of the fire, and let ‘er rip!

Easy and light enough for kids to use, this compact extinguisher was designed for mounting in areas of the home that are most vulnerable to fire. With one quick grab, it slips out of the holder with your hand already in position to use!
