This test has weight to it, many demonstrations where they burn a car, they just put the seats on fire and put it out before the car has become hot and the tires even start to burn. Hot burning tires with reasonable response times are so hard to put out, nice test!

That foam is great gets it out real fast

Nice, This video and others like it should make anybody a believer. But unfortunately some still dont. We use saber jet nozzels on a 15-20 degree fog to get better surface area and better atomization of the foam. It works well, We used 2500 gallons of water and 1 gallon of foam to put out a well involved mobile home. The shit works.... Put the white stuff on the red stuff!!!

What kind of nozzle are you using?

You know, I thought a CAFS pump was hard to operate, but in reality, it's simpler than a single stage water pump. Another advantage, the handlines are SOOOOOO much lighter than water.
