What else can I help you with?
Can you use the term viscosity to explain how wetting agents are used to help fight fires?
help to increase water tension by changing the viscosity of water
How is viscosity used to help fight fires?
Viscosity plays a crucial role in firefighting by influencing the behavior of fire suppression fluids, such as water and foam. Fluids with lower viscosity can spread more easily and penetrate fires effectively, while higher viscosity solutions can create thicker foams that smother flames and prevent oxygen from reaching the fire. Firefighters use this knowledge to select appropriate extinguishing agents based on the type of fire and the materials involved, optimizing their effectiveness in controlling and extinguishing flames.

How do muck fires stop?
Muck fires are difficult to fight. Often the only way to stop a muck fire is to contain it.
What do CFC's use to extinguish fires?
CFCs, also known as chlorofluorocarbons, are typically not used anymore for extinguishing fires due to their harmful impact on the ozone layer. Instead, other fire suppression agents like halon, CO2, or clean agents such as FM200 are commonly used. These alternatives are effective in suppressing fires without the ozone-depleting effects of CFCs.
What are Class c fires are shown with?
Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment and are typically represented by a blue triangle symbol. These fires can occur in settings where electrical devices or wiring are present, and they require specific extinguishing agents that are safe for use on live electrical equipment. Common extinguishing agents for Class C fires include carbon dioxide (CO2) and dry chemical extinguishers, which do not conduct electricity. It's important to avoid using water on Class C fires, as it can create a shock hazard.
Class B fire extinguishers are best to fight what kind of fires?
Liquids
