FIREFIGHTING EFFECTIVENESS OF AQUEOUS-FILM-FORMING-FOAM (AFFF) AGENTS

Information was obtained by conducting laboratory experiments and full-scale fire-modeling tests which were of value in estimating the firefighting effectiveness of two aqueous-film-forming-foam (AFFF) agents. Minimum quantities and application rates were established for each AFFF agent in relation to the size and configuration of simulated aircraft ground fuel-spill fires involving JP-4, JP-5 and aviation gasoline.
