A method of extinguishing or controlling a fire in an aircraft cargo compartment or the like, comprising: rapidly releasing and spreading a gas extinguishant into a compartment in an amount sufficient for an initial flame knockdown of a fire in the compartment; the extinguishant being under substantial pressure in a first container so as to be in liquid form before being released; at a predetermined time releasing and spreading more of the extinguishant into the compartment from a second container in which the extinguishant is under substantial pressure so as to be in liquid form; maintaining the extinguishant from the second container in wholly liquid form in a discharge bleed and metering line and nozzles, and avoiding significant pressure loss, preventing freeze-up and providing controlled rate flow accuracy maintenance in the line and nozzles, and providing violent boil-off when discharged from the nozzles to provide a thorough and rapid mix of the gas within the compartment; and releasing and spreading the liquid near the ceiling from the second container at a predetermined rate at least equal to the amount lost through compartment leakage to ensure a predetermined average gas extinguishant concentration for a predetermined time in the compartment to adequately control or extinguish a fire in the compartment.
