The assistance was provided as part of a collaboration with the religious organization “Caritas-Spes Odesa.” Overall, the project “A Step Toward Safety: Protecting People and Homes in the Kherson Region” involves the distribution of 4,000 VP-3 fire extinguishers to protect homes amid constant Russian shelling. The first batch consisted of 2,000 units.
Powder fire extinguishers (marked VP or OP) are versatile primary fire-fighting devices filled with a special, finely dispersed mineral powder. When activated, this powder is propelled by pressurized gas onto the source of the fire, isolating it from oxygen and suppressing the chemical reaction of combustion.
