Principles Of Foam Fire Fighting

by IFSTA, Fred Stowell (Contributor)

Foam solutions of foam concentrate and water are frequently used to fight petroleum, chemical, transportation accident, forest, and other types of fire. This heavily illustrated handbook is designed to educate firefighters (in city, rural, industrial, shipboard, and airport settings) in the production and delivery of all types of foam, consistent with standards laid out by the National Fire Protection Association. Topics covered include types of foam and foam systems, foam proportioning (mixing) systems, firefighting tactics with foam, training for foam use, and foam quality testing.
