Fire safety is an extremely important and life concerning issue and therefore so is the subject of fire extinguishers. There are many different types of fire extinguisher available for many different applications, from dry powder extinguishers to liquid ones and beyond. The best extinguishers available in the market today incorporate innovative technology and features to make them even more effective than they’ve ever been. Nonetheless, research never stops and as time moves on, so will the development of these fire safety devices.
However there are some agents which have been tested to help put out little fire, especially domestic fire. They can act as substitutes when you can reach out for extinguisher immediately
They are listed below

Baking Soda
This common household item possesses more power than you first think! Not only is it a staple cooking ingredient and an effective cleaning agent – it’s also a fantastic fire extinguisher! Sodium bicarbonate can be used to put out small and tameable house fires such as small grease or electrical fires. The powdered substance smothers the fuel and cools the fire at the base of the flame. Of course, this cannot be up-scaled for more widespread use, but it’s handy to know should you experience a small kitchen fire!
Salt
Similar to baking soda, salt is another natural fire extinguisher that is sitting right there in your kitchen cupboard! What many people fail to realise is that salt is actually one of the main ingredients found within a conventional fire extinguisher. So salt just had to be on this list! Salt disperses heat and minimizes oxygen supply to a fire. This is especially useful if you experience a grease fire on or around the oven.
coca cola
To use Coke to put out a fire, do the following: open the bottle, keep the opening closed with your thumb on top of it, shake it hard, and point the gushing liquid toward the flames.


Fire blanket
Fire blankets can be used to extinguish small fires in the home. They can also be used to wrap around a person whose clothes have caught alight. It is best to store fire blankets in or adjacent to a kitchen but not too close to a potential hazard for example above a stove.
Towels can also act as fire blankets. A damp towel can be used to put out fire

Detergent mixed with water
Mix detergent to water and store in a plastic can. Always keep in your kitchen
