  "term": "Fire grenade",
  "field": "Industrial and trades",
  "definition": "A sealed glass bulb or sphere containing a fire-extinguishing liquid, designed to be thrown into a fire. Upon impact, the container shatters, releasing the chemical agent which vaporizes and smothers the flames by displacing oxygen or chemically inhibiting combustion. Early versions contained carbon tetrachloride, a substance now recognized as highly toxic and ozone-depleting, while modern equivalents use less hazardous agents for niche applications like stove top fires.",
