the non-extinguisher was called fire gas and was invented by the russian engineer naum sheftal in they. well, the first foam fire extinguisher well known to modern man was invented by russian engineer alexander laurent. the scientist spent a long time conducting experiments on extinguishing burning oil and realized that the most effective way to cope with a fire was to use air-mechanical foam and founded the compact fire extinguisher evreka, which works on this principle. his first test. took place in st. petersburg in may 1905, almost half a century later, in 1953, after after 15 years of complex research, japanese chemist jiro nima synthesized an organic liquid called light water. this liquid has a unique property; it is capable of extinguishing a fire at any stage of the fire. the same scientist, jero nezama, in 1954 invented another type of fire extinguisher, a self-activating one. the chemist's discovery was prompted by a powerful earthquake in tokyo. neizam's device was triggered automatically in case of danger without human intervention. the fire extinguisher module was filled
