Abrégé

The portable fire extinguisher has a housing 22, a pair of nozzles 30 protruding from the housing, and a heat-responsive valve 50 mounted outside the housing for detecting high heat intensity at proximity of the housing. The housing contains a cylinder of inert gas 24 under pressure, a reservoir of fire suppressant material 26, and a piping system 28 connecting the cylinder of inert gas, the heat-responsive valve, and the reservoir of fire suppressant material to the nozzles. The housing has a carrying handle 32 formed thereon and magnets 38 on surfaces thereof for retaining the housing to a range hood in a detachable manner. The piping system comprises a manual valve 60 mounted in parallel with the heat-responsive valve 50 for selective operation of the fire extinguisher in a manual mode. The heat-responsive valve is mounted near the top surface of the housing for detecting high heat intensity as close as possible from the ceiling of a range hood.
