fire bucket

Sand-filled safety container

A fire bucket is a bucket kept filled with water or sand for extinguishing small fires.

Once common in homes, factories, and public buildings before modern fire extinguishers, they're now mostly seen in historic sites or as safety equipment in workshops.

The bucket is typically painted red and labeled for easy identification in emergencies.
