kioltó

kioltó is a Hungarian word that translates to "extinguisher" or "quencher" in English. It commonly refers to a device used to put out fires, specifically a fire extinguisher. These devices contain a substance such as water, foam, carbon dioxide, or dry powder, which is released under pressure to suppress or extinguish a fire.

The term kioltó can be used in a general sense to describe anything that puts an end to something, not exclusively fires. For instance, it could refer to a substance that extinguishes thirst or a gesture that quenches anger. However, its most frequent and practical application is in the context of fire safety. Fire extinguishers are essential tools for both professional firefighters and individuals in preventing the spread of fires and minimizing damage. They are categorized based on the types of fires they are designed to combat, indicated by different classes (e.g., Class A for ordinary combustibles, Class B for flammable liquids). Proper knowledge of how to operate a kioltó is crucial for effective and safe use in emergency situations.
