Also on February 7, the birthday of a fire extinguisher . It was on this day of 1863 that Alandier Ross received a patent for the first modern fire extinguisher. Although attempts to create fire extinguishing devices were made in the XVIII century, it was Rossa who laid the basis for modern models. Its fire extinguisher consisted of a metal cylinder filled with water and compressed air or carbon dioxide. The first extinguishers contained hydrochloric acid and soda, which created a chemical reaction for fluid release. Modern extinguishers are divided into powder, carbon dioxide, foam and water depending on the type of fire. In some countries, fire safety training measures are being held this day.
