The FINE (or First Intelligent Fire Extinguisher) was inspired after a designer’s home was burnt down when no one was home. His solution to such a problem was to develop the FINE, a fire extinguisher that can detect and put out fires on its own when no one is around.
The FINE fire extinguisher is activated when the smoke detector goes off and immediately contacts emergency help. Check out the FINE in action in the video above.
