Fire extinguishers are predominantly found almost in all places since it has been made a mandatory provision. Fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, during emergency situations. It is not intended for use on an out-of-control fire, such as one which has reached the ceiling, endangers the user, or otherwise requires the expertise of a fire brigade. Typically, a fire extinguisher consists of a hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an extinguishing agent which can be discharged to extinguish a fire. They can be of two types, stored-pressure type and cartridge operated type. Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) Fire Extinguishers are suitable to fight burning liquid fires such as burning petrol, diesel and other flammable liquid hydrocarbons. Foam fire extinguishers can be used on Class A and B fires. They are most suited to extinguish liquid fires such as petrol or diesel and are more versatile than water jet extinguishers because they can also be used on solids such as wood and paper as well. In this work a foam generating fire extinguisher is designed and fabricated. Features and components are added for easy operation and maintenance such as refilling and draining. The high pressure air obtained from the outlet of an air compressor helps to produce foam. The wheels and the lever rod attached with the cylinder makes the cylinder easily movable.
