His greatest inventions were the fire extinguisher and the medicine for a disease.
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.

Justin Cubbison, whoever that is, had nothing to do with the invention of any known fire extinguisher anywhere in the world.

Thomas J. Martin had nothing to do with invention of what is today called the fire extinguisher. It was invented well before he was even born. What Martin did patent was a system of pipes and sprinklers that could be used in highrise buildings. His patent just happened to have the title "Fire Extinguisher".
A fire extinguisher is meant to extinguish a fire, or at least a portion of the fire within the fire extinguisher's capacity.
how does a fire extinguisher work
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.
