Abstract

A method for fire prevention and/or fire fighting on board an aircraft comprises the steps detecting a fire event, leading an extinguishant to a fire source through a cooling-system piping system (12) which serves, in the normal operation of the aircraft, to supply a refrigerant to a cooling station (14a, 14b) and/or discharge a refrigerant from a cooling station (14a, 14b), and flooding the fire source with the extinguishant.
