The Fire Extinguisher is a tool in 112 Operator that can be carried by any type of crewmember, boosting their fire-fighting skill by +0.5 points. It can be placed in either the left or right tool slot (but not both), and costs €1,000 to purchase as part of any gear set.
Equipped on Firefighters, the +0.5 Fire Extinguisher boosts their skill by a decent margin compared to their base skill level (which is usually between 2.0 and 3.5). With this bonus, the Firefighter can do 0.5 more Work per Second when fighting any type or size of fire, reducing the time it takes them to put out that fire. With multiple Firefighters carrying Fire Extinguishers, they can work together to put out fires rather quickly.
Note that this +0.5 bonus is exactly equal to the bonus provided by riding in a Fire Truck, and the two bonuses are cumulative with each other. With both bonuses together, it is quite possible to exceed a skill level of 4.0 - however that is the absolute cap. If the Firefighter has surpassed 4.0 skill, consider removing the Fire Extinguisher and giving it to someone else.
Both Police Officers and Medics may be equipped with a Fire Extinguisher. For them the bonus is quite substantial, since their base firefighting skill is very low (somewhere around 0.1). With an Extinguisher in hand, officers and medics can actually slow the spread of fire down while waiting for an actual Firefighting unit to arrive; and/or actually stick around and help the Firefighters put out the fire a little faster. However, they are still unlikely to be able to put out a fire on their own, without any Firefighters. Furthermore, this is a very situational bonus, and there are many other tools a police officer or medic would get more benefit out of during the course of their routine work.
