🔍 Key Concepts

• Foam works by forming a blanket over the fuel to smother vapors • Foam should avoid agitating or splashing the burning liquid • The bank-down or indirect application method used on flammable liquid fires

💭 Think About

• Which method best allows foam to gently form a continuous blanket over the fuel without breaking up? • Which choice avoids driving the fuel or flames around and reduces the chance of re‑ignition? • On a bulk liquid surface fire, how do firefighters usually get foam onto the surface when they can’t stand right at the edge?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which options directly disturb the burning surface of the liquid and which do not • Consider which option best matches standard banking or bouncing foam into a flammable liquid fire • Check which method will slowly build up a foam blanket instead of blowing holes in it
