That’s where Samsung’s Firevase comes in. The stylish, normal-looking flower vase is filled with potassium carbonate, an oxygen suppressant often used as a dry fire retardant. All you have to do is break the vase near a fire, ideally by throwing it from a safe distance, and the potassium carbonate acts quickly to suppress the fire. The only downside is that you'll have to find a new vase for your flowers afterward.
What is a Samsung Firevase?
Answer: A flower vase that doubles as a fire extinguisher.
Samsung has come up with a stylish solution to a problem many homeowners in South Korea face: a lack of easily accessible fire safety equipment. The country’s current standards for fire safety are not applied retroactively to older buildings, leading to increased fire hazards in many living spaces. In a 2017 poll by the tech giant, which is also an insurance company in South Korea, 58 percent of households said that they did not have a fire extinguisher.
