Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0578843A1] The method for extinguishing fires consists in supplying to the combustion zone (14) an agent which, in interaction with the flame, localises and suppresses the latter. As agent, a highly disperse aerosol is used which is produced by burning a synthetic oxygen-containing solid fuel (9). <IMAGE>
