Safety tools should always be available in the right place for the right time. Once a flame begins to strike, it spreads quickly, making it a threat to anyone standing in its path. Premature suppression within one minute of a domestic fire is the most important factor in keeping your home safe. Most fires cause severe damage, including property damage that cannot be stopped if not for early suppression. That being said, a small fire extinguisher in anyone’s home is said to exert the same power of a fire truck, and it enables us to respond quickly when a fire occurs.
However, it is not easy to find a fire extinguisher in a kitchen, bedroom, or living room. There may be fire extinguishers in stairwells, hallways, or doorways, but even those are not easily accessible. This could be for a variety of reasons, but mainly because it is difficult to place heavy and bulky fire extinguishers in the right space. Fire extinguishers may also be confusing to use, and nobody has time to fumble around with a tool while their lives are at stake. Homeowners could also be hesitant on letting a rusty, red fire extinguisher ruin the interior of their home. Despite these reasons, fire extinguishers are a necessity and must be situated in the right place.
Happymily is a Korean company whose name combines the words “Happy” and “Family”; they are a safety-based design company with the slogan “Safety is the answer for all,” as they promise to safeguard millions of homes globally. They began by considering the fire extinguishers placed in building stairwells, wondering why authorities put these essential tools in a place so hard to access. The fact of the matter is, fire extinguishers exist to reduce fire damage within an enclosed space. That is why Happymily has developed a new version of the fire extinguisher called “Voila.” Derived from the French word that translates to “yes, here it is,” Voila is lightweight, slim and has a clean-cut design, which does not distract from the overall home atmosphere, as well as not taking up unnecessary space like the traditional, clunky fire extinguisher. The problem most people have with traditional fire extinguishers is that they are unsure of how to use it. Even with access to fire safety information online, people still draw a blank when it comes to dealing with life-threatening situations. Luckily, practically anyone can use Voila easily. When the device is not in use, the customer can turn on Lock mode to prevent random spraying. When in need, the user can push back on the paste and the liquid will spray immediately. Unlike traditional fire extinguishers, Voila’s liquid fire suppressant does not consist of powdered substances that can cause any secondary damage to buildings and residences.
It is important for everyone to be knowledgeable about fire safety, and Voila emphasizes that we need the right tools at the right time. In a dangerous scenario, our initial reaction should be to prevent the flame from growing, but traditional extinguishers aren’t built into every home like they should be. This is why Happymily has created Voila for the sake of convenience and our overall well-being.
