Fire extinguisher balls are small shaped automatic fire extinguishers that can be thrown to the fire and dispense fire-fighting substances within 3 seconds. They are effective both passively and actively, i.e. mounted on the wall and/or thrown or rolled into flames. The loud noise that the fire extinguisher ball makes is useful in ridding the area of smoke. Fire extinguisher balls reduce the risk of fire by providing additional protection in areas where there is a high risk of Class B fires.
AFO’s Fire ball products release non-toxic and non-hazardous chemicals when activated, meaning humans, animals, the environment, and electrical devices won’t be harmed when putting out a fire with fire suppression ball. Fire extinguishing balls offer unique benefits and are often used in conjunction with other more traditional fire extinguishers to provide additional protection and coverage in homes and offices. Although it is not generally recommended that the device be used actively on a Class B fire, it can still be mounted for passive protection in areas where there is a high risk of Class B fires.

A fire extinguisher ball is a self-activating fire extinguisher that disperses non-toxic chemicals to extinguish fires within a three-cubic meter radius.

The ball is designed to be self-activating – upon contacting the flame, the breaker activates and the dry chemical is dispersed, covering a fire area of 4m2 (13 ft2– equivalent to the standard 5 lb content extinguisher). The outward circular force from the fire extinguishing ball blast will assist in removing oxygen from the fire area, and the dry chemical will extinguish the fire.
