Fill that can with some "Purple K" and that fire would have been out in 1 second.
Looks like you are correct Gerald. The fuse is lit and releases the contents of the canister. It is under pressure at first, but ends up just dropping the contents after that.

There are many chemicals out there besides purple K that are used and some are better than others. It really depends on the application they are used in
