Firefighting Foam

Firefighting foam is a specialized agent designed to suppress flammable liquid fires by creating a stable blanket over the fuel surface, effectively inhibiting vapor release and cooling the fire. It is particularly effective in combating Class B fires, which involve flammable liquids such as gasoline and oil. Not to be confused with water-based extinguishing agents, foam is typically deployed in conjunction with SCBA and may be integrated into various firefighting strategies, including those outlined in NIMS and ICS protocols.
