Fire Extinguisher

The fire extinguisher is a tool utilized by Police, Fire, and EMS. It is a portable device that is pointed and discharged by the user to put out fires. The extinguisher operates similarly to the fire hose, and can extinguish multiple fire points simultaneously. All Police, Fire, and EMS vehicles contain a fire extinguisher. Fire extinguishers stored in Police and EMS vehicles contain 45 units of fire retardant and can be discharged contentiously for approximately 15 seconds. Fire vehicles carry larger extinguishers, containing 100 units of fire retardant and can be discharged continuously for approximately 30 seconds. Despite containing over twice the amount of retardant, both types of extinguisher appear visually identical. The fire extinguisher cannot be placed or dropped even if fully depleted, and must be returned to a vehicle storage.

Vehicles currently contain an unlimited number of fire extinguishers, as the player may return a depleted extinguisher to any vehicle and retrieve a new fully charged one. Multiple players may obtain extinguishers from the same vehicle's storage, and extinguishers may be returned to vehicles other than the one in which they were obtained.

Multiple fire extinguishers can be seen lying on the floor of the under-construction fire station, however they are only props and cannot be picked up.
