A device is disclosed for extinguishing fires, as well as uses of the device for the stationary protection of objects and for binding dust during operations with explosives and a method of extinguishing forest or surface fires using the proposed extinguishing device. The extinguishing device comprises a container which holds the extinguishing agent and an explosive charge in or on the container which is detonated to atomize the extinguishing agent and deliver it into the fire in the form of a cloud. In order to improve the device's versatility and effectiveness in use, the container consists of a flexible hose (2) which can be closed off at both ends. The proposed method of extinguishing forest or surface fires involves laying the hose (2) ahead of the fire front (8), filling it with extinguishing agent (10) and exploding it by detonating the explosive.
