Foam fire suppression systems are a type of wet system utilizing both water and foaming agents for specific high-hazard applications like fuel in aircraft hangars. The foam is an extinguishing agent which cools and separates the ignition source from the surface and smothers fire and vapors. Foam is one of the best agents to prevent reignition. The foam agent smothers the surface and covers the fuel, while the water cools the fuel to prevent reignition. There are concerns about the safety of PFAS and EPA disposal requirements.
