The Problem:
94% of fire deaths occurs in homes and buildings, and people spend about 80% of the time in buildings. In an ideal world all industrial, commercial, public places as well as residential would have an affordable self-activating fire extinguisher strategically positioned in known areas of potential threat, so that if a fire should start and regardless of whether someone is present to or not, the device would disperse extinguishing chemicals and extinguish a fire in the early stages and avert loosing valuable information, assets and even property.
