This document provides instructions for making a homemade fire extinguisher using common household items. The ingredients are baking soda, vinegar, and a plastic bottle. The procedure is to light a candle, add baking soda to the bottle, add vinegar which will cause carbon dioxide gas to be released, and place the bottle near the candle to extinguish the flame using the carbon dioxide. The scientific explanation is that carbon dioxide gas is denser than air and will smother the flame by displacing the oxygen needed for combustion.
