Fire is great at keeping us warm but it’s the perfect example of when too much of a good thing can be really, really bad. In fact, any amount of fire outside of a designated area is pretty much a bad thing. But you can put it out quick with the Elde Fire Extinguishing Ball, the ball that stops fire in its tracks.

This ball doesn’t look like much but toss it into a raging fire and it will explode into fire extinguishing goodness, stopping that fatal heatwave in its tracks. It’s made to be tossed into the fire, once it hits, it disperses fire stopping chemicals to safely put the fire out.

You don’t have to throw it, though. If a fire happens and no one is around, then as soon as the flames touch the ball, it will do the same thing. The bonus for this ball over an extinguisher is that it’s very user friendly. Extinguishers are heavy and in a panic one can waste precious seconds handling it. This is a ball. Just about everyone can throw a ball. Prices start at $93.
