Abstract
An apparatus for fire suppression may include a flexible container, a gas generant or other suppressant, initially located within the flexible container, and an initiator. A propagating member may be located within the container to permit the initiator to initiate the generant or expel the other suppressant upon triggering of the initiator to extinguish the fire. A sustainer may be provided to sustain the suppression and may be positioned within a generator housing upstream of the propagating member or at or adjacent the downstream end of the propagating member.
