6.4 FOAM SUPPLY LOGISTICS

The foam suction hose is matched to the eductor and must not be lengthened. Lengthening the foam suction hose reduces foam flow,

resulting in weak foam. Position foam buckets within reach of the standard length foam suction hose.

Figure 6.4

DANGER

Lack of foam can place operator at risk of injury or death. To reduce the risk of injury due to lack

foam:

• Establish foam flow before advancing into hazardous situations. 

• Keep an adequate supply of foam concentrate on hand.

• Check concentrate level periodically.
