This document provides instructions for making a homemade fire extinguisher using common household ingredients. The ingredients needed are baking soda, white vinegar, a candle, a lighter, an empty water bottle, and two spoons. The instructions are to light the candle, add vinegar and then baking soda to the bottle, which will produce bubbling and carbon dioxide gas; then place the bottle over the candle to smother the flame using the gas. The purpose is to learn how a fire extinguisher works in a simple and cost-effective way using only baking soda and vinegar.

1. How to do it?
What you will need:
Baking soda
White vinegar
A candle
A lighter
An empty water bottle
2 spoons from the same size
Instructions.
1. First of all light the candle.
2. After that fill a clean glass jar 3
spoons of white vinegar.
3. Then the same amount with the
baking soda.
4. It will start to bubble a little…
5. Then you just put the mixture above
the candle and with that gas it will turn
off automaticly.
DON’T LET THE WATER FALL!

2. Why could this help
you in your life?
Keeping your home safe from fires should be
on your home maintenance checklist. Having a
proper fire escape route and emergency
numbers clearly posted is a great first step. In
addition, it is wise to have a fire extinguisher on
hand in the kitchen and other areas where an
open flame is used. A small home fire
extinguisher is relatively inexpensive, but larger
units can cost upwards of $300. You can create
a simple, cost-effective fire extinguisher on your
own, using nothing more than baking soda and
