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 can not be used to fill a fire extinguisher?
You can fill a fire extinguisher with any substance you like. Whether it will work as a fire extinguisher afterwards is a different matter. The old pump-style water fire extinguishers in college dormitories have occasionally been found to contain beer (which at least still works for the intended purpose) or gasoline (which is not so effective), which is one reason you don't see that type so much anymore.

Can the chemicals in a fire extinguisher be harmful?
Any chemical can be harmful in excessive amounts, and at the rate more fire-extinguishers dish them out, yes they will hurt you, or even kill you. See your local safety instructor for full details on how each kind of extinguisher can be harmful in what way.
How often are fire extinguisher checks performed?
Depending upon what fire code is used and where the extinguisher is located, it should be checked monthly. In fact, a fire inspector can ask to see the records of the monthly tests, which are normally attached on a tag on each extinguisher. Modern codes are beginning to require automatic electronic monitoring of fire extinguishers.
Why would frost form on the outside of a fire extinguisher?
When looking at this use the equation PV = nRT. From this you can see that temperature and pressure are proportional to one another. So if your temperature increases for the same volume and number of moles your pressure must also increase. When you use a fire extinguisher you rapidly decrease the pressure inside the container which causes the temperature to decrease. The frost you see is water vapor from the air freezing when it comes into contact with the cold outside of the extinguisher.
What to do when your garage is on fire?
If the fire is small try to put it out using a fire extinguisher if you have one, provided you're certain it is the right sort of extinguisher for the type of fire. If you don't have an extinguisher, or don't have the right type, use thick, heavy rugs or anything else which will cut oxygen from the fire. Never use synthetic fabrics, and never, ever use cushions or pillows, which will be filled with materials that will not only burn - and feed the fire - but will give off toxic fumes as they burn. Try to remove all flammable items from around the fire. If you can see that the fire is becoming uncontrollable, call 911 and evacuate the house if needed.
How do you get the fire extinguisher in Gigolo Assassin 3?

Get the three-headed monkey wrench from the machine and use it with the spider. It will follow you again and you will see a brick on the floor. Use that to get the fire extinguisher.
