Manually activated, portable aerosol fire extinguisher includes a casing having opposed end walls and discharge ports in each end wall, an arrangement for<SUB>.</SUB> generating fire suppression agent to be discharged through the discharge ports, and an activation system which enables manual activation of the generating arrangement at a safe location a distance from a fire. The activation system includes a firing pin which causes ignition of igniter material upon contact with a primer thereof, a delay column arranged between the primer and igniter material to delay ignition of the igniter material, a safety lever which normally prevents the firing pin from contacting the primer and a manually releasable pull pin which maintains the safety lever in a position preventing the firing pin from contacting the primer. Upon release of the pull pin, the firing pin contacts the primer causing generation of the fire suppression agent.
