Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1512435A2] Method for extinguishing metal fires involves application of a completely waterless liquid extinguishing agent which reacts with the burning metal, by bonding the air oxygen and forming an incombustible compound. The extinguishing agent is sprayed as multiple fine jets from above onto the source of fire. An independent claim is also included for an extinguishing device for use in the above method.
