  • wow!

  • If you didn't know. There are 4 ways that foam extinguishes fires and it does it by: Seperating, Cooling, Smothering, and Penetrating. Plus, you do not want to get foam on your skin or in your eyes. It will irritate both your skin and your eyes and used to be very hazardous to the enviornment. (It was made out of animal byproducts.)

  • It's Christmas in July! lol

  • well thats gonna be a bitch to clean up...

  • @BFMVpwnage5168 no it drys into a powder

  • thats alot of faom lol

  • are there any good web sites out there regarding overhead and underground fire protection for commercial buildings?

  • well at least they know it works LOL

  • is that poisionuos

  • Could you breathe under all that foam if you were at the floor of the hangar?

  • The foam is supposed to kill the fire by asphyxiating it. So by definition: no. (The weight of the foam is making it difficult to make air pockets)

    What's more of a problem is that the foaming molecules are highly nocive and some are even staying in your body of virtually forever (like lead).

  • I dont know why the title is foam test gone wrong as this system did exactly what was designed to do which is fill the aircraft hanger to the roof with foam.

  • it was supposed to do a short test. it operated a full response. had there been an actual emergency, then yes, that would have been considered perfect.

  • is this in a hanger

  • funny thing is that foam is harmful if u keep it on your skin... hope everyone had a shower....

  • FOAM PARTYYYYYYY

  • does anybody know the name and singer of this song?

  • "Good Times" Charlie Robison

  • Great! they should install the exact same system and set it off when Mr. Bush is sleeping... the guy will think (and be convinced) that he is really in heaven!

  • I want that in my house. I would use it during parties.

  • I bet thet test was costly.

  • Great vid looks like fun.

  • You can explain that in a situation involving an actual fire, none of your precious bombers would burn before being able to bomb a hospital or something. Yer mom.

  • Having first hand Experience with this test I can tell you that it operated perfectly. The time limit was Excessive for this test but that is what the AHJ wanted. 4 Mins of discharge equaled Hrs of clean up. I will admit nice song add to the edited power point presentation. Thanks for the new spin. I will add this one to my collection of the many others that are on the web.

  • Who installed this system and performed the test??

  • it wold suk to clean that up

  • you could just use a bunch of wet/dry vacumes :P

  • where did you get the song ? who sings it

  • that looks like it will be fun to dive into

  • Precisely what should have happened.

    AFFF systems in hangars are supposed to toally fill the compartment, in order to smother flames.

    They have a set time limit to do so, based on NFPA codes.

    Further, the systems are such that the pumps don't shut down after set times; they run until someone in authority shuts them down.

    Many controllers do have a test feature that allows for limited runs, but you'd best know how to set them.

    Looks like a successful test to me.

  • Now THAT is what they mean my high expansion foam!

  • 1000:1!!!!!!!!!!

  • great vid. nice work whoever hung those rizers for that system . looks sharp. foam systems flippin rock!!

  • u idiot its supposed to do that..so if theres a fire in the building it completely smothers it and puts it out.

  • It was supposed to be a test, as in IT WOULD SHUT OFF. so don't call other people idiots if you don't even know what it was supposed to do in a test situation in the first place.

  • HAHAHAHAHA

  • looks like snow

  • That looks like fun:)
