A fire extinguisher used to put out fires.
The 🧯 fire extinguisher emoji represents a portable device used to control or extinguish small fires. It is commonly associated with fire safety, emergency preparedness, and hazard prevention. People may use this emoji in contexts related to workplace safety, fire drills, or educational content about handling emergencies. Beyond its literal meaning, it can also be used metaphorically to indicate 'putting out' a problem, conflict, or crisis—such as calming a heated argument or resolving an urgent issue. The emoji was approved as part of Unicode 11.0 in 2018 and is widely supported across major platforms. Its visual design typically features a red cylindrical body with a nozzle or hose, consistent with real-world fire extinguishers found in homes, offices, and public buildings.
Emoji are pictographic symbols originating from Japan that have become a universal digital language. They can be used across various platforms and applications to express emotions, objects, activities, and concepts. The Unicode standard defines thousands of emoji and continues to expand.
