Class B foam concentrates
Foam fire-suppression agent designed for use on ignited or unignited Class B
flammable or combustible liquids. Also known as Class B Foam
Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF)
Synthetic foam concentrate that, when combined with water, can form a
complete vapor barrier over fuel spills and fires and is a highly effective
extinguishing and
blanketing agent on hydrocarbon fuels.
Protein Foam (3% and 6%)
Class B fires involving hydrocarbons
• Protecting flammable and combustible liquids where they are stored,
transported, and processed
Fluoroprotein Foam (3% and 6%)
Hydrocarbon vapor suppression
• Subsurface application to hydrocarbon fuel storage tanks
• Extinguishing in-depth crude petroleum or other hydrocar- bon fuel fires

Film Forming Fluoroprotein Foam (FFFP) (3% and 6%)
• Suppressing vapors in unignited spills of hazardous liquids
• Extinguishing fires in hydro- carbon fuels
Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) (1%, 3%, and 6%)
• Controlling and extinguishing Class B fires
• Handling land or sea crash rescues involving spills
• Extinguishing most transpor- tation-related fires
• Wetting and penetrating Class A fuels
• Securing unignited hydrocar- bon spills
Alcohol- Resistant AFFF (3% and 6%)
Fires or spills of both hydrocar- bon and polar solvent fuels
High- Expansion Foam
Extinguishing Class A and some Class B fires
• Flooding confined spaces • Volumetrically displacing vapor, heat, and smoke
• Reducing vaporization from liquefied natural gas spills • Extinguishing
pesticide fires
• Suppressing fuming acid vapors
• Suppressing vapors in coal mines and other subterranean spaces and
concealed spaces in basements
• Extinguishing agent in fixed extinguishing systems
• Not recommended for outdoor use

Head Pressure
Pressure exerted by a stationary column of water, directly proportional to
the height of the column
Detonation
Instantaneous and explosive release of stored chemical energy of a
hazardous material.
Violent rupture
Immediate release of chemical or mechanical energy caused by runaway
cracks. They occur within a time frame of one second or less
Rapid relief
Fast release of a pressurized hazardous material through properly operating
safety devices.
Spill/leak
Slow release of a hazardous material under atmospheric or head pressure
through holes, rips, tears, or usual openings/attachments.
Engulfment
Dispersion of material as defined in the General Emergency Behavior
Model (GEBMO); an engulfing event occurs when matter and/or energy
disperses and forms a danger zone.

Hemispheric
Semicircular or dome- shaped pattern of airborne hazardous material that is
still partially in contact with the ground or water.
Cloud
Ball-shaped pattern of an airborne hazardous material where the material has
collectively risen above the ground
or water at a hazardous materials incident
Plume
Irregularly shaped pattern of an airborne hazardous material where
wind and/or topography influence the downrange course from the
point of release
Cone
Triangular-shaped pattern of a hazardous material with a point source
at the breach and a wide base downrange
