The foam is not gas, but chemicals that prevent the fuel source in a fire from receiving the oxygen needed to sustain a fire.

Is a fire extinguisher the smae foam firefighters use?

No. Fire extinguishers use a dry powder to smother the fire. Firefighters use two types of foam that can be broken down into more categories. A class "A" foam is actually a type of soap. It is used to break up water tension so that water can seep into the ground and/or fuel better. A class "B" foam is used to make a blanket that smothers gasoline or diesel type fires.


Why do firefighters put out a fire on a petrol tanker with foam?

Firefighters use foam to extinguish fires on petrol tankers because foam effectively cools the flames and creates a barrier that prevents oxygen from fueling the fire. The foam also adheres to the surface of the burning fuel, suppressing vapor release and reducing the risk of re-ignition. This method is particularly important for flammable liquids like petrol, where traditional water-based methods can be ineffective or even dangerous. Using foam helps ensure a safer and more efficient firefighting operation.
