2021.2.30.26Description
The fire grenade was popular during the 19th and early 20th centuries for extinguishing fires. They were designed to be thrown into the fire with the glass bulb-shaped grenade shattering and the contents extinguishing the flames. At the beginning of their production, the grenades were filled with saltwater. However, after scientific research, the more effective chemical carbon tetrachloride replaced saltwater. When used to extinguish a fire, the liquid chemical would inhibit the chemical chain reaction of the combustion process.Location
