Carbon tetrachloride CCL4
When carbon reacts with chlorine, carbon tetrachloride is formed. This reaction occurs by the replacement of hydrogen atoms in a methane molecule with chlorine atoms. Carbon tetrachloride is a colorless liquid that was commonly used as a solvent and fire extinguisher.
To safely empty an antique carbon tetrachloride fire extinguisher, first ensure you are in a well-ventilated area and wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles. Carefully release any remaining pressure by slowly opening the valve, allowing the contents to discharge into a suitable container. Dispose of the carbon tetrachloride according to local hazardous waste regulations, as it is toxic and environmentally harmful. Finally, consider consulting a professional for proper handling and disposal if you are unsure.

Cold fire is often used by jugglers and flame eaters. It can be made by immersing an object in a mixture of carbon disulfide and carbon tetrachloride. This will produce a flame but it will only be warm. Extreme care should be taken however as it will produce a noxious acrid smoke and carbon tetrachloride is carcinogenic.
The first carbon dioxide portable fire extinguisher in the USA was made by Walter Kidde & Co., Inc. in 1924.

Yes, a fire extinguisher works on a grease fire. What you have to avoid with grease fires is throwing water on them, because the burning grease will just float on the water and will be splashed around as the water heats and vaporizes, spreading the fire, rather than being put out. But the carbon dioxide based fire extinguisher doesn't have that problem.
