ABSTRACT
Fire extinguishers are the most first basic tools to prevent fire and to help
minimize the damage of one property. This project can be effective in some certain way.
The researchers do some experiment by testing the homemade fire extinguisher contained
artificial carbon dioxide in any kind of fire. The researchers want to know how this
homemade fire extinguisher can be truly effective by annihilating fire. As the researchers
said earlier, the researchers donned some experiment by testing the project in any kind of
fire. The researchers do some testing using by homemade fire extinguisher in a wide
place that is safe from widening the fire. The researchers used some materials that we
needed like source of fire (combustible materials and flammable liquids) and the project
made by using some materials that may found around in the house (baking soda, vinegar,
etc…) The researchers gathered data by observing it by the day of experiment and list
down all the important that the researchers observed. As the researchers observed,
homemade fire extinguisher can be much truly effective by annihilating fire. Thus, the
portable extinguisher is much extremely functioning than in our project. But in some
point, this project can pass the standard of being alternative fire extinguisher. The result
of this study will all be honest, there’s no plagiarism happening. As the researchers we
respect the researchers and their research to not plagiarize, to give the credibility in this
research and in our name.

1.0 Introduction
Fire extinguishers are very important tools to help minimize property damage and
prevent serious and even fatal injuries. Knowing what types of fires you could have and
maintaining your fire extinguishers could save your property and many lives. Considering
all of the factors of fire extinguishers, we can say in all department must have a single
fire extinguisher in their every facility in case of the unpredictable accident happens.
Why fire extinguisher is so important in every facility? We all know that the fire
accident is unpredictable and we cannot control it by ourselves without any fire
equipments or fire extinguisher. Fire extinguisher can annihilate fire that in low to high
level. If you are a type of person that not cautious enough, then you don’t need a fire
extinguisher. But in terms of safety of your family, don’t hesitate to buy a single fire
extinguisher. Fire extinguishers can be a small but it’s important part of the home fire
safety plan. They can save lives and property by putting out a small fire or suppressing it
until the fire department arrives.
Flame extinguishment by carbon dioxide is predominantly by a thermo physical
mechanism in which reacting gases are prevented from achieving a temperature high
enough to maintain the free radical population necessary for sustaining the flame
chemistry. For inert gases presently used as fire suppression agents (argon, nitrogen,
carbon dioxide, and mixtures of these), the extinguishing concentration (As measured by
the cup burner method (NFPA 2001)) is observed to be linearly related to the heat
capacity of the agent-air mixture (Senecal 1999).

DIOXIDE
Although of minor importance in accomplishing fire suppression, carbon dioxide
also dilutes the concentration of the reacting species in the flame, thereby reducing
collision frequency of the reacting molecular species and slowing the rate of heat release
(Senecal 1999).

artificial carbon dioxide in extinguishing the two different types of fire. Effectiveness is
measured by testing the homemade fire extinguisher in two different types of fire.
Based from the result introduce, the homemade fire extinguisher contained
artificial carbon dioxide are truly effective in extinguishing the two different types of fire
which is the combustible materials and the flammable liquids. The set-up B Flammable
liquids are much effective in homemade fire extinguisher than the set-up A Combustible
materials based from the time of manipulating the fire.
The standards of homemade fire extinguisher are being environment friendly, that
not cost too much, easy to make and materials are found only in kitchen or you can buy
in cheap prices. The researches approved that this homemade fire extinguisher can be an
alternative fire extinguisher.
The homemade fire extinguisher can help you lead into safety because in the
result, the two types of fire we used are basically the main sources of fire in our homes, in
other words, Homemade fire extinguisher is can be the firefighter even you do not have
an portable extinguisher.

5.0 Conclusion
Fire accident is unpredictable and we don’t know when it’s coming. There are
2,000 to 4,000 fire incident that recorded every year in the Philippines. Every 7 out 10
families lost their homes because of the fire related incidents.
Based on the result, the researchers therefore conclude that homemade fire
extinguisher that contained artificial carbon dioxide in annihilating the fire is much
effective in flammable liquid than in combustible materials.
