No, not really. A patent issued that year was entitled "Fire Extinguisher", issued to one Thomas J. Martin, but it was related exclusively to a systems of pressurized pipes installed in buildings for operating sprinklers (or for other purposes).
Such an invention clearly has no relevance to any "portable fire extinguisher", or any other self-contained fire extinguisher, portable or not.

∙ 11y agoNo, not really, if you mean a PORTABLE fire extinguisher.
A patent was issued to Thomas J. Martin on March 26, 1872 for a "Fire Extinguisher" that was basically a set of pipes running beneath the street, connecting to branches in certain buildings, and providing pressurized water for fire-suppression nozzles inside the building.
Today we might call this a "wet standpipe" or a "sprinkler system", but certainly not a "fire extinguisher" (which is a self-contained, pressurized unit).

Who invented the fire Extinguisher'?
Records show that Ambrose Godfrey patented a fire extinguisher in England in 1723 and that George William Manby invented the "modern" extinguisher in 1818. One could also argue that a bucket full of water or sand is also a "fire extinguisher" and was invented about the time people started living in houses. There are some who incorrectly believe that Thomas "T.J." Marshall invented the fire extinguisher in 1872. Others say, "Ochoa L.C Bailey July 18,1899". See the related questions about Thomas J. Martin for more about 1872. (Martin's patent is titled "Fire Extinguisher", but describes an improvement to a system of pipes installed inside a building, like a sprinkler system, nothing like a portable "fire extinguisher" of today.)

What black American got patent for a fire extinguisher in 1872?
Thomas J. Martin. However, US Patent 125,063 issued to Thomas J. Martin, on March 26, 1872, entitled "Fire Extinguisher", has NOTHING to do with a portable fire extinguisher. The portable fire extinguisher had been invented by others many years prior to Martin's invention. What that patent discloses is a way to use pressurized water pipes inside buildings, supplied from pipes in the street, with valves you could open on each floor and use the spray to put out a fire.
What inspired TomJ Marshal to invent the fire extinguisher?
Thomas J Martin had an 1872 patent for a "Fire Extinguisher." He didn't invent the portable fire extinguisher; it had been around for over 100 years before he made his contribution to fire sprinklers. His motivation is not known.
Who was T J Marshall?
He was credited for improving the fire extinguisher in 1872, about 150 years after it had been invented in England. What he actually invented was a type of fire standpipe and sprinkler in which water pressure from a reservoir and pump pushes water up and into a building to a valve that can be opened to make the water spray out of nozzles. That is nothing like what we call a "portable fire extinguisher" today. US Patent 125,063, issued March 26, 1872 to Thomas J. Martin [sic], of Dowagiac, Cass County, Michigan.
When did Thomas J. Martin invent his fire extinguisher?
US inventor Thomas J. Martin patented his fire suppression device (a water supply design for hoses and sprinklers) on March 26, 1872. The handheld fire extinguisher was invented in the UK in 1818 by George William Manby.
What did TJ Marshall invent?
He was a black inventor who invented the fire extinguisher.
Who patented the fire extinguisher in 1872?
The first fire extinguisher of which there is any record was patented in England in 1723 by Ambrose Godfrey, a celebrated chemist. It consisted of a cask of fire-extinguishing liquid containing a pewter chamber of gunpowder. This was connected with a system of fuses which were ignited, exploding the gunpowder and scattering the solution. This device was probably used to a limited extent, as Bradley's Weekly Messenger for November 7, 1729, refers to its efficiency in stopping a fire in London.
Who invented fire exinguisher?
fire extinguisher was discovered by George William Manby in 1813
Who invented the carbon dioxide fire extinguisher?
The first carbon dioxide portable fire extinguisher in the USA was made by Walter Kidde & Co., Inc. in 1924.
What was Thomas J Martin's fire extinguisher in 1872 made of?
According to US Patent 125,063 issued to Thomas J. Martin on March 26, 1872, entitled "Fire Extinguisher", it was a system of pipes (presumably metal) in which water pressure from a reservoir and pump pushes water up pipes and into a building to a valve that can be opened to make the water spray out of nozzles. This is nothing like what came to be known as the "portable fire extinguisher" we have now.
Why did tj marshall invent the fire extinguisher?
There is no indication that anyone named "T.J. Marshall" invented any fire extinguisher. However, there was a US Patent 125,063 issued to Thomas J. Martin, on March 26, 1872, entitled "Fire Extinguisher". Actually it was a type of fire standpipe and sprinkler in which water pressure from a reservoir and pump pushes water up pipes and into a building to a valve that can be opened to make the water spray out of nozzles. This is nothing like what came to be known as the "portable fire extinguisher" we have now.
