Not normal foam but carbon dioxide foam from a fire extinguisher. This special foam covers the fire and takes all the oxygen out of it, and with no oxygen, no fire!!!
The foam cuts the connection of fire with air (oxygen) & thus puts out fire.
smother it or use a foam fire extinguisher
Water and foam
Water, foam, powdered chemicals like sodium bicarbonate
foam is used for fire suppression. what it does is it cools the fire and to coats the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, and then the fire is out.
Foam, dry powder or CO2 gas- a Class B extinguisher
By using a fire extinguisher, which will take away the oxygen. this means that the fire triangle will lose a side. the fire triangle consists of 3 things, heat/fuel/oxygen. when doing this you have to use the right extinguisher. for plane fires use water foam to separate the fuel from the oxygen. (water foam is like foam bubbles but a lot more sticky)
Foam spray extinguishers are not recommended for fires involving electricity, but are safer than water if inadvertently sprayed onto live electrical apparatus.
well the tank that holds the foam is compressed with co2 but what actually makes the foam is the nozzle it acts as an aerator and thus making the liquid into foam ----------------------------------------- Air is the most simple example of gas used in foam fire extinguishers.
Unplug the tv and use a fire blanket or fire extinguisher.
Using a foam fire extinguisher on a liquid fire can be effective, as foam is designed to smother flames and create a barrier between the fuel and the air. However, it's crucial to ensure that the liquid is compatible with foam extinguishing agents, as some flammable liquids may react adversely. If the foam does not properly cover the fuel, it might spread the fire instead of extinguishing it. Always check the fire classification and use the appropriate extinguisher for the specific type of fire.
you should use dry powder extinguisher
