It’s been noted that water is not the most efficient extinguishing agent. In fact, compressed air foam systems, better known as CAFS, has been proven to be a force-multiplier in fire suppression efforts. Unfortunately, many departments simply don’t understand CAFS’ capabilities and, therefore, fail to actively pursue these systems. Who better to explain the ins and outs of this unique system than someone from Texas? In this Webcast, Fort Worth (Texas) Fire Department Captain Homer Robertson will walk you through CAFS applications in fire attack. Topics covered will include:
• An overview of compressed-air foam systems
• Application types and methods
• When it’s appropriate to use CAFS
• Pros and cons associated with using the system
• The Fort Worth Fire Department’s experience with CAFS
• CAFS training tips
Other topic areas: foam percentages, heat-reduction abilities, fog nozzles vs. smooth-bore nozzles, issues with attack line kinking, maintenance concerns and dependability of the system. REGISTER NOW!
