MCERT1 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 How much foam does your department carry? What types? and do you think it's used when it should be? In our agency we carry a pretty decent amount. Engine 1: CAFS with 25 gallons of A and B plus an additional canister of both tucked away up topEngine 2: CAFS with 25 gallons of A and B plus an additional canister of both tucked away up topBrush : CAFS 25 gallon A tankHazmat: carries eductor nozzles and large number of cansiters of A and B foam.-We also have an additional stockpile of around 50 mixed canisters laying around. I find we don't necessarily utilize it as much as we could and should. Outside using A on brush fires, we rarely pump from these tanks unless we're doing training.

Fred03 Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 All we have is a ProPack with a container of 3% AFFF on our pumper. I don't think its been used for a long time... Not since I joined the department anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted June 1, 2014 Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Here city trucks run 500 gallon water tanks, and either 25/25 foam or 50/25 foam I believe. Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
