A fire extinguisher system in an engine of an aircraft comprising:

• a first fire extinguisher containing a first agent that is suitable for extinguishing fire, the first fire extinguisher mounted in the engine and having:
• a first discharge port for discharging the first agent therethrough;
• and
• a first actuator for actuating the first discharge port;
• a second fire extinguisher containing a second agent that is suitable for extinguishing fire, the second fire extinguisher mounted in the engine and having:
• a second discharge port for discharging the second agent therethrough;
• and
• a second actuator for actuating the second discharge port;
• a valve:
• coupled to the first discharge port via a first line;
• and
• coupled to the second discharge port via a second line, wherein the valve is configured to release the first agent and the second agent into a third line;
• a check valve coupled to the third line;
• a fourth line coupled to the check valve;
• an additional line coupled to the check valve, wherein the check valve prevents a discharge arriving at the check valve from the additional line from entering the third line and releases the discharge into the fourth line;
• and
• a controller connected to the first actuator and the second actuator, wherein the controller is configured to activate the first actuator and the second actuator in a predetermined sequence,
• wherein the first fire extinguisher and the second fire extinguisher are mounted in the engine in a line,
• wherein the first fire extinguisher and the second fire extinguisher comprise a first extinguisher set, wherein the third line connects to a joining fitting that connects to a common line that terminates at a discharge zone, and wherein the fire extinguisher system further comprises:
• a second extinguisher set comprising:
• a third fire extinguisher containing a third agent that is suitable for extinguishing fire, the third fire extinguisher having a third discharge port for discharging the third agent therethrough, and a third actuator for actuating the third discharge port;
• a fourth fire extinguisher containing a fourth agent that is suitable for extinguishing fire, the fourth fire extinguisher having a fourth discharge port for discharging the fourth agent therethrough and a fourth actuator for actuating the fourth discharge port;
• and
• wherein the controller is further connected to the third actuator and the fourth actuator, the controller configured to activate the third actuator, and the fourth actuator simultaneously.
