German Foam Extinguisher Tested by Fire Chiefs
A German invention uses a tenacious foam formed by mixing alum and bicarbonate solutions to smother flames. The foam floats on the burning liquid, cuts off air, and cools the fuel as carbon dioxide dissipates, preventing spread in hydrocarbon fires. The device, developed near Salzkotten, was tested by fire chiefs and insurers for effectiveness in extinguishing liquid fires.
