It's equally effective in the office or home, on boats or aircraft. It sprays a fine powder kept under pressure by gas. MS/MCUs - Inventor LLEWELYN EVANS inspecting cache of hand-held fire extinguishers. MS - Bevy of fire extinguisher cans lined up on table. MS - Match being thrown onto gasoline-soaked wall, flames spreading rapidly, man entering frame & extinguishing fire with Mr. Evans' device. MS - Grease fire in cooking pan in kitchen, fire extinguisher being used to put out flames. MSs - Fuel accelerant being placed on sleeve of business suit worn by daring middle-aged man; fire is set in test room, the man remaining calm & confident with arms akimbo, even though a fire rages in the background and he is mildly on fire; mild-mannered man on mild-mannered fire is doused with fire extinguisher. Bizarre, wild, wacky. | |
