To put off the fire

We use it to put out fire (but never had to so far! fingers crossed) but I know some people keep it in the building as part of decor. Also, public places and business premises are required to have one under H&S regulations.
Hope this helps.

To put a fire out???
To make sure the building doesn't burst into flames.
To use before the fire brigade can get put out those big fires...

To control, primarily, fires! And maybe, if you are lucky, they fullfil their purpose and EXTINGUISH the fire! (Meaning it doesn't burn anymore)
