Fight against fire foam Nothing scares gut wrenching of a person as the word "fire". I think that because we are powerless before the ravages of fire and destruction that follows. The purpose of the losses from the fire is too deep emotional shock. Everyone can wear it when we see someone who has suffered the loss of a home or business from a destructive fire. I live in a region that was devastated by a fire last year, and we looked at house after house was destroyed. Thereafter, drive in the neighborhood he was sad to see everything destroyed. These families woke up this morning and-breakfast, a shower, went to work at school, walking the dog, provided the rest of the day and perhaps a moment thought the rest of their lives. "We will plant roses here. "It'sa good time to have another baby," Let's invite my parents to spend the holidays. "Then" Wham "it is changed, all the parties. Tangible one home, no tangible memory is all reduced to ashes, and now they are starting from scratch. But do you do?
Fortunately, with the fight against fire breakthroughs in science and technology of firefighters now have a little more power on the ravages of fire. Such development is fire-fighting foams. Fight against fire chemical foam, was first used in the late 19th century. About 50 years later. Aerofoam has been developed and has been replaced by foam Fluoroprotein 20 years later. In the mid-60s we saw the foam, aqueous film forming foam, AFFF, Navy, and AR-AFFF followed. As AR-AFFF and AFFF-ATC be successful on a number of fuels, it is now the industry standard.
However, research and technology has continued to the widespread use of environmentally friendly fire fighting foams cons. These foams are environmentally safe for firefighters and the environment. The new "green" foams can be used on Class A fires and fires in Class B and Class A / B fires. In addition, the autonomous RDDS DECON systems were used by last summer and winter Olympic Games.
Like climate change, firefighters battle in our country to the whims of man and nature. It is reassuring to know that there are companies such as U.S. Foam Technologies Inc., which helped us to maintain and safe environments.
