Abstract
A modular fire extinguishing system has a tank holding fire retardant material, an ejection head coupled to the tank for dispersing the fire retardant material, a valve mechanism for releasing the fire retardant material from the tank, an inlet to the tank for pressurizing the tank, and a mechanism for sensing an incipient fire condition and for initiating operation of the valve mechanism to eject the fire retardant material.
