A fire extinguishing apparatus (1) and method are proposed, comprising: a container (2) configured to receive and retain a fire extinguishing agent (8); a pressure generator (4) coupled to the container to have a generated pressure act upon the fire extinguishing agent to expel the fire extinguishing agent over an expel-exit of the container. Due to a separator (36) which is placed within the container so that the fire extinguishing agent and the pressure generator are separated, it is advantageously possible to provide a pressure effect on the extinguishing agent without any risks of mixing a pressurized gas from the pressure generator and the extinguishing agent, especially by the iginition phase of the pressure generator, wherein only the extinguishing agent has to be expelled out of the container. Furthermore some means related to the separator will be proposed for improving the expelling of the extinguishing agent out of container.
