San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Oakland, Hayward & Fremont Foam Fire Extinguishers
Foam fire extinguishers generally are stored with compressed with air and use different types fire extinguishing agents that are all designed for specific point of use and are created for high flammable areas. Foam fire extinguishers are generally used for Class A fires such as organic solid material such as wood and Class B fires that involve liquid such as gas and oil.
Work with State licensed fire extinguisher companies for the purchase, sale, service, refill, recharge, hydrostatic test or annual tags that are required to comply with fire codes, rules and regulations in San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Oakland, Hayward & Fremont.

· AFFF (aqueous film forming foam) used on A and B fires and for vapor suppression. The most common type in portable foam extinguishers, It contains fluoro ten sides [12] which can be accumulated in human body. The long-term effects of this on the human body and environment are unclear at this time.
· AR-AFFF (Alcohol-resistant aqueous film forming foams), used on fuel fires containing alcohol. Forms a membrane between the fuel and the foam preventing the alcohol from breaking down the foam blanket.
· FFFP (film forming fluoroprotein) contains naturally occurring proteins from animal by-products and synthetic film-forming agents to create a foam blanket that is more heat resistant than the strictly synthetic AFFF foams. FFFP works well on alcohol-based liquids and is used widely in motorsports.
· CAFS (compressed air foam system) Any APW style extinguisher that is charged with a foam solution and pressurized with compressed air. Generally used to extend a water supply in wildland operations. Used on class A fires and with very dry foam on class B for vapor suppression.
· Arctic Fire is a liquid fire extinguishing agent that emulsifies and cools heated materials more quickly than water or ordinary foam. It is used extensively in the steel industry. Effective on classes A, B, and D.
· FireAde, a foaming agent that emulsifies burning liquids and renders them non-flammable. It is able to cool heated material and surfaces similar to CAFS. Used on A and B (said to be effective on some class D hazards, although not recommended due to the fact that fireade still contains amounts of water which will react with some metal fires).
