cease. One of the most highly abused drugs,
marijuana, has become the foremost stimulant
leading to harder and deadlier drugs. What makes
this case even worse is the fact that people have
formed groups with the sole purpose of legalizing
this drug. With all...

Description Of A Class Fire Extinguisher
766 words
A fire extinguisher is a portable or movable
apparatus used to put out a small fire by
directing onto it a substance that cools the

in the flame. Water performs two of these
functions: its conversion to steam absorbs heat,
and the steam displaces the air from the vicinity
of the flame. Many simple fire extinguishers,
therefore, are small tanks equipped with hand
pumps or sources of compressed gas ...
