Fire Brigades face the whole gamut of fire situations – urban, industrial, rural. They have to deal with varying fuels, physical scales and significant risk. It is a challenging and unpredictable scene. It follows that the choice of an adequate foam concentrate is a difficult one. Our VS Focum foam catalogue offers many alternatives including the Silvara range of Fluorine Free Firefighting Foams which have excellent wetting capabilities to tackle Class A fires along with qualities that offer a fast extinguish and burnback resistance on Class B fires.
