A portable fire fighting tool that is connectable to a portable fire extinguisher is described. This tool comprises a penetrating head with a removable, sharp cutting element thereon and wherein the penetrating head is preferable connected at 90° to a linear, hollow handle. At the opposite end of the handle a quick connect device may be used to connect a portable fire extinguisher and the handle together. This tool is especially useful in fighting an automobile or truck engine or trunk compartment fire when the automobile or truck is locked preventing entry into the engine compartment or the trunk. By forcing the penetrating head down and through the sheet metal of the engine or trunk compartment, the cutting element cuts through the sheet metal. When the fire extinguisher is discharged, the fire extinguishing agent (e.g. foam, water, dry chemical, Halon ? or CO2) flows down over the cutting element in an umbrella-like fashion extinguishing the fire without doing further damage to the automobile or truck. This tool will allow a faster response to and control of a the fire situation thus limiting damage which normally takes place when force is used to gain access to a locked engine or trunk compartment. The element of this invention saves time in fighting an engine or trunk compartment fire and provides the ultimate in safety for the fire fighter.
