Inert gas extinguishment of a small pool fire with a rubber balloon has been investigated. Rubber balloon is used as extinguishing capsule, which is filled with extinguishing gas and bursts spontaneously at near flames. The rubber film prevents gases in the balloon from diffusing into the surrounding air. In the present study, effects of the membrane thickness on the rubber balloon extinguishment of n-Heptane pool fire have been clarified by using two different kinds of rubber balloons.
