Photographed at a nursing home in Damyang County (담양군), South Jeolla Province (전라남도), South Korea (대한민국), these green containers are fire extinguishers. Unlike fire hoses and the familiar red fire extinguishers, both which require operators to potentially remain in harm's way while they aim the nozzles at their respective fires, this type of fire extinguisher is thrown into a fire and left there. Because it does not require any active operation, the thrower may immediately leave for safety.
