Which of the following describes a container of chemicals that will put out a small fire?

A fire extinguisher is specifically designed to put out small fires by discharging fire-suppressing agents. It is portable, easy to handle, and can be used effectively for different types of fires, depending on its classification (such as A, B, C, or D). Fire extinguishers work by removing one or more elements of the fire triangle: heat, fuel, or oxygen, making them crucial for quick response in emergencies.

In contrast, a fire blanket is typically used to smother flames on a person or a small fire, but it does not spray or apply chemicals, limiting its effectiveness against all fire types. A fire hose is designed to deliver large amounts of water or other fire retardants over a distance and is more suited for larger fires or hazards. A water bucket can be used for small fires, but it is not as effective or efficient as a fire extinguisher, which is specifically equipped for rapid response with minimal effort.
