It grasps almost 1kg of foam, which is sufficient to do away with small household inferno within no time.

This witty creation by designer Erik Crommelynck is the result of the thought that most of the Beligium-based homes lack doesn’t install fire extinguishers in their kitchen as they look too hideous or demands lot of space. Against their perception, the Pinqy is a model creation claiming to be no less than a masterpiece.

This handy device is been used by France’s biggest fire service.
