There is a wide variety of foam concentrates. Each user is responsible for verifying that any
foam concentrate chosen to be used with this unit has been tested to assure that the foam
obtained is suitable for the purpose intended.
For Class B fires, lack of foam or interruption in the foam stream can cause a break in the foam
blanket and greatly increase the risk of injury or death. Assure that:
• Application rate is sufficient (see NFPA 11 or foam manufacturer's recommendations).
• Enough concentrate is on hand to complete task (see NFPA for minimum duration time
requirements).
• Foam logistics have been carefully planned. Allow for such things as:
• Storage of foam in a location not exposed to the hazard it protects.
• Personnel, equipment and technique to deliver foam at a rapid enough rate.
• Removal of empty foam containers.
• Keeping clear path to deliver foam as hoses, other equipment and vehicles are
deployed.
Fire streams are capable of injury and damage. Do not direct water stream to cause injury or
damage to persons or property.
