METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCING THE FIRE COMBATANT PROPERTIES OF SAFETY CANS A safety can for flammable liquid having a pressure relief cap which can lift slightly from the spout to form an escape orifice in response to internal pressure has its fire combatant properties enhanced by providing a skirt surrounding the location of the escape orifice. The skirt is located at such a level that it interrupts the radial spray pattern of flammable material spraying from the orifice and redirects this material in such a way that it tends to collect in the vicinity of the can.
