Wicked. Looks like a dry chemical fire extinguisher, but pressurised in a disposable casing. explodes/instant releases in an area and wipes out the fire

FM approved, but apparently not, or not yet, UL listed. I wonder what's up with that. Users in major facilities should probably check with their insurers before installing. That said, what a cool idea!

I like it. Wonder how safe it would be to be breathing near it after it pops?

That is so cool! I'd like to know more about how it actually works.

Also,

When I first read the thread title I thought it was this:

I want to know if they're safe to carry in a car, because I can see them being VERY useful.

I always like the victorious music backing those videos.

Not really a new idea, but probably quite a bit healthier than the glass bottle of carbon tetrachloride (I think) that were used 75 years ago.

What's Old is New Again. The fire grenade returns.

Watch out of the old ones, they're filed with a Carbon Tetrachloride mixture that is less than healthy, but effective.
