Description
A foam fire extinguisher (AFFF – Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) is a versatile fire suppression tool designed for use on Class A (solid combustibles like wood, paper, and textiles) and Class B (flammable liquids like oil, gasoline, and paint) fires. It works by forming a blanket of foam over the fire, cutting off the oxygen supply and preventing re-ignition. The aqueous film also helps cool the surface and spreads over the flammable liquid to stop vapor production.
