Class a Foam--Best Practice for Structure Firefighters

This book is the most comprehensive one available on the subject of Class A foam, a chemical additive that when mixed with water forms a foam solution that is much more effective than plain water in suppressing fires. From the definition of Class A foam to how to use compressed air foam systems (CAFS), this book will increase your department's ability to stop a structure fire. According to the author, "The use of Class A foam and CAFS can enhance the fire-suppression capability of water up to five times, thus dramatically improving the service it provides to its customers." The text includes how to stop a structure fire in less time than when using water, how the technologies improve firefighter safety, improvements in customer service, real world results using Class A foam, and more. 1st Edition (1998) 245 pp. ISBN 0-9663468-0-
