Foam Supply and Application in the Past Traditional Recommendations, Standards All of the traditional recommendations and standards (NFPA, BS, API, VdS, EN, etc.) suggest the use of ‘static tactical rules’ for fighting the fire of hydrocarbon storage tanks. What does this mean? The foam application rate is independent (static) of the respected fire surface. Experience shows poor success rate in extinguishment, while using low foam application intensity values. Technical development, particularly the economical need for large capacity storage tanks over 80–100 metres diameter, brought a new challenge for the firemen. The extinguishment of such fire surfaces is not a simple quantity question that can be solved by increasing the number of the traditional foam generators, foam pourers, etc. New theory of fire extinguishing had to be developed to answer the well known problems.
