This will come in handy with Chatfield’s volunteer fire department, as police are likely to be first on scene.

“This is going to be a great tool for us if someone’s in the house or if it’s a vehicle that someone’s in, it’s going to be great for us to be able to get there first and do something to try and save a life before the fire department gets there,” Chatfield Police Chief Shane Fox said.

Another benefit: they’re simple to use.

All you have to do is pull two pins and throw it towards the fire. The unit will then suppress the fire in a matter of seconds.

Each unit costs around $1,000.
