DIY Fire Extinguisher By: Sahana Moogi

If you are cooking, doing a science experiment, or anything that involves fire, a fire extinguisher is a good thing to have around. Here is a simple way to create one if you don’t have a fire extinguisher already. You can always add on to this design to make it better!

Materials

Empty Bottle Baking Soda Vinegar Water Dish Soap Tissue Paper

STEP 1: Poke a hole in the center of the cap of your bottle. You can use a drill or a pointy object, and the smaller the bottle is, the better. STEP 2: Wrap the baking soda in the tissue paper, so it forms a long roll, and fold the roll in half. It should only be about 2 to 3 inches long after folding it in half. You can also use toilet paper or any type of paper that will dissolve quickly in a liquid.
