History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 423990-11 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of the Fire Extinguishers (Wholesale) industry dates back to the early 19th century when the first fire extinguisher was invented by George William Manby in 1818. The first fire extinguisher was a copper container filled with potassium carbonate solution and compressed air. In 1905, the first portable fire extinguisher was invented by Walter Kidde, which was a cylinder filled with water and carbon tetrachloride. In the 1920s, carbon dioxide fire extinguishers were introduced, which were more effective and safer than the previous models. In the 1950s, dry chemical fire extinguishers were invented, which could extinguish fires caused by flammable liquids and electrical equipment. In recent history, the Fire Extinguishers (Wholesale) industry in the United States has seen a rise in demand due to the increasing awareness of fire safety regulations and the need for fire protection equipment in commercial and residential buildings. The industry has also seen advancements in technology, such as the development of fire suppression systems and smart fire extinguishers that can detect and extinguish fires automatically.
