Abstract: A container has a first compartment, a sleeve configured to receive at least one container for holding fluid, and a second compartment coupled to the first compartment, outside of the first compartment. Disposed inside of the second compartment in a substantially sealed manner is at least one inflator configured to pump a fluid into the first compartment wherein the at least one inflator. There can be at least one fluid channel coupled to the first compartment and to the at least one inflator for allowing fluid to flow from the at least one inflator to the first compartment.

Abstract: There is disclosed, in one aspect, a dispensable flame-extinguishing composition comprising approximately 5 to approximately 20 percent by weight bromotrifluoromethane and approximately 95 to approximately 80 percent by weight bromochlorodifluoromethane and a residual air weight at 70.degree. F. which varies inversely to the degree of vacuum pulled under constant volume. For vessels ranging in size from 127 mls. to 325 mls. at a temperature of 70.degree. F. the amount and weight of residual air will vary from approximately 0.047 grams to 0.390 grams for a 22" Hg vacuum to no vacuum being pulled. The composition utilizes residual air to dispense the extinguishing agents in the temperature range of -40.degree. F. to room temperatures. In another aspect, there is disclosed a method for extinguishing fires. This method comprises applying to the fire the above-described composition. This composition is particularly useful in hand-held fire extinguishers.
