Firefighters know that foam extinguishes flames faster and for a longer period of time than water. That foam is able to cover more area per gallon than water. So it's no wonder that portable foam units are popping up in firehouses across our nation.

Portable foam units come in all variances. From carry-on-your-back units to slide-in truck mounts. Firefighters in the field can benefit from all models. Brush and forest fires are easily combated with the back units. A portable five gallons of foam will protect more area and extinguish more flames than carrying five gallons of water.

A portable truck unit dispensing 100-200 gallons per minute can quickly turn a house or apartment inferno into a safe rescue environment. Accompany the truck unit with individual back units and flames will be no match for any fire department using portable foam units.

Chemical and oil fires are quickly smothered by foam. When dry retardants aren't available, firefighters are reaching for their portable foam units. A quick thick layer of foam will smother flames on water. The foam is safe for the environment and easy to clean up. Foam is easier to control than dry chemicals as well. Foam still behaves like water, without the negative effects.

Firefighters love the foam. Firefighters say the back units are less cumbersome than dragging a hose throughout an environment and the extra weight isn't that noticeable. Five firefighters are able to carry five portable foam units into an area instead of just one heavy powerful hose. Use portable foam units and experience true multiple-direction firefighting.

Work as a team like never before. Never lose pressure, and get to multiple areas where the fire is hiding quickly with portable foam units.
