Sparks' New Weapon to Fight a Dangerous Type of Fire
The science behind fighting petroleum fires involves the use of foam instead of water, for good reason. Foam, according to Acting Fire Chief Tom Garrison, "will spread out and suppress the vapors coming off the petroleum tank." The foam coats the fuel. That cuts off its contact with oxygen, stopping the combustion. But water can actually make a fuel fire worse. "Water sinks to the bottom. If it's really hot it'll expand and make the problem much worse. It's very similar to putting water on a grease fire in a kitchen."
