TOLI ALTOUNIS, CEO and Inventor of the Put it Out Mini Fire Extinguisher, got his inspiration for his invention after reading about yet another devastating fire in Khayelitsha, a community where dwellings are most often built in close proximity with flammable paper-based products and wood. He decided there and then to become part of the solution and to find an ‘everyman’ answer to fighting fires like these.

The risk of fires moving rapidly through ‘shack cities’ and similar areas is very high and his aim was to catch the fire before it spreads. With quick thinking and a Mini Fire Extinguisher in your hands this is a real solution.
