Fogmaker is a registered trade mark of the fire extinguisher described in this manual. It is designed for
extinction of burning petrol, diesel, oil etc. in engine rooms or other enclosed spaces. The extinguisher
uses a cold water-mist, which reduces the temperature very effectively. At the same time it drives out
the air, so that the oxygen level is reduced. Full effect is obtained when the extinguishant is vaporized.
