Aircraft fire extinguishing with heated tubing

A fire extinguishing system of an aircraft, the fire extinguishing system comprising:

• a container configured to store a fire extinguishing agent;
• a tube configured to transport the fire extinguishing agent from the container to a compartment of the aircraft;
• a valve configured to initiate a discharge of the fire extinguishing agent from the container and through the tube;
• a heating element thermally coupled with the tube;
• and
• a control member configured to actuate to a first position and a second position to respond to a fire condition in the aircraft, wherein actuation of the control member to the first position activates the heating element to initiate drawing power from a power source of the aircraft to begin heating the tube and refrains from activating the valve to prevent discharging the fire extinguishing agent through the tube, and wherein actuation of the control member from the first position to the second position activates the valve to discharge the fire extinguishing agent through the heated tube.
