ABSTRACT:
A fire extinguishing apparatus particularly but not exclusively for protecting large areas comprising a reservoir for a fire extinguishing fluid under pressure connected by a normally closed differential valve to a plastics tube which traverses the area to be protected, the tube being filled with air and/or an inert gas under pressure and being adapted to burst when exposed to a predetermined temperature, bursting of the tube and the consequent sudden decrease in pressure in the tube causing opening of the valve to allow the extinguishing fluid to flow from the reservoir along the tube to the region of the burst.
