| AFFF Foam: |
| Firefighters often use a foam known as aqueous film forming foam, or AFFF. AFFF foam is used on class A fires and class B fires although it is best suited for static pools of flamable liquids. AFFF creates a layer of film between a fuel and the oxygen in the air, causing the fire to suffocate. See also Class A Foam |
