The Fire Extinguishing Ball is the most advanced fire fighting product since it greatly minimizes fires with little to no human intervention. It is a fully automatic fire extinguisher because it extinguishes a fire when it comes into contact with it by bursting which then puts out the fire.
The ball is light, portable and easy to use in extinguishing the initial fire. It is made up of a water-proof plastic cover and filled up with harmless powder.
The ball can be thrown or rolled to any fire but can also be placed at fire hotspots in a building whereby it is placed next to circuit breaker boxes, flammable objects and gas cylinders. The ball could even be placed in the engine compartments/rooms of shipping vessels.
