A fire extinguishing system including a fluid storage container configured to store a fire extinguishing agent, and a fluid stream separating device coupled to the fluid storage container, where the fire extinguishing agent passes from the fluid storage container through the fluid stream separating device so that the fluid stream separating device raises a temperature of at least a portion of the fire extinguishing agent flowing through the fluid stream separating device above a boiling point of the fire extinguishing agent at ambient environmental conditions of a discharge location of the fluid stream separating device.
