A fire extinguisher is a handheld, typically cylindrical, device used to extinguish small fires. Such devices contain a fire-suppressive agent, typically under pressure, and are used by spraying this suppressive agent over the base of a fire, smothering the fire out. Fire extinguishers are typically used in an emergency, and should not be wasted on routine, controlled fires (such as a campfire).
