ABOUT CAFS

There are many benefits in using any CAFS fire fighting system, to follow I will try to detail some of the advantages and highlight writing from other industry representatives.

When discussing the use of CAFS on structural fires Dominic Colletti details;

General CAFS Features And Benefits
1. Flaming and non-flaming combustion is extinguished in less time and with less water. Available water supply and personnel resources are used much more effectively.
2. Compressed air foam clings well to threatened exposures. Less water is wasted during exposure protection applications.
3. Compressed air added to a foam solution stream provides extra energy for stream propulsion. Compressed air foam streams are projected further than water streams.
4. Finished foam produced by CAFS is dense; it clings better to burning or ready-to-burn materials and has a longer drain time. This allows superior fuel moisture penetration and cooling.
5. Hose lines are filled with a partial volume of compressed air (about 52%), therefore they are much lighter and easier to carry and advance.
6. CAFS produce foam types ranging from "wet" to "dry." By providing these options, the ideal foam type can be applied to each fire to maximize the effectiveness of water and personnel for each tactical fire control purpose.
7. With CAFS, foam bubble generation is very efficient, therefore less foam concentrate is required to generate foam streams as compared to using nozzle aspirated foam systems (NAFS).

These seven items collectively contribute to a significant gain over using water or Class A foam application by NAFS to control structure fire. This results in:
·    Increased operational efficiency of available fire control resources such as water supply, personnel and apparatus.
·    Increased fire-fighter safety.
·    Reduced property damage.
