Fire protection of buildings, their sets and in the broader concept of the hole built-up and state undeveloped territory is one of the basic conditions of any advanced human society. The current scientific knowledge of extinguishing agent different types allows more fires to be managed adequately and effectively. Aerosol fire extinguishers belong to relatively newly developed methods of fire protection connected with buildings and technical infrastructure. By their nature, properties, effects and ecologically sound, this technology has received much attention from the gradual phasing out and reduction of halogen extinguishing agents since the early 1980s, due to the Montreal Convention. Very surprising results and improvement were reached due to modern carbon nanocomposites such as graphene oxide, fullerene and its modifications which were not intended to be used in such fields at all. But thanks to their in-depth examination and advanced technology their exploitation seem to be unlimited.
