Handle and mixing head are provided with air intaking windows which are aligned one with the other. Valve is made single-component. Intaking tube is made perforated. Fire-extinguisher of such construction is recommended for suppressing fire in closed volumes, preferably in piloted spacecrafts, as well as in ground, underwater and flying devices, by attending personnel. Fire-extinguisher provides repeated generation of stable foam which is supplied onto surface of burning materials or into space of room so that it penetrates into cavities covered with interior. EFFECT: simplified construction, improved safety during operation, reduced weight and sizes and increased efficiency. 2 dwg
