Class A foam mixes are effective for fighting fires fueled by combustible materials like wood, including wildfires and structural fires. They are also known as “wetter water” - a mix that can seal off fire’s oxygen supply rather than just evaporating. Its ability to work its way into wood grain makes it a natural pre-treatment protectant for buildings in the path of approaching wildfires.
Class B foam mixes are effective for fighting fires fueled by ignitable fluids like gasoline and diesel. They create a “lighter water” because of its ability to form bubbles, which break down atop the fire and becomes a film that effectively smothers it.
Properly used, foam can extend your water usage 10-fold. Follow specifications to find out which eduction (chemical mix) rate – 1 or 3% - is correct for your firefighting needs.
A 3/4 inch garden hose 8 GPM Scotty Foam Applicator is also available.
