[Rheopipo]

Man I hope I had that much fun at work.... but i suppose that for the guy making the cleanup it wasnt that much fun!

[Galager]

Looks like fun, who gets to clean all that shit up though?

[AirportFF]

We cleaned it up. Brought one of these trucks in through the back entry of the hanger and flushed it out. The bubbles break down in less than 24hrs with no residue.


Yes, it's specifically for hanger fires. The system has to cover 90% of the area that would be occupied by an aircraft in 1 minute or less. The foam is designed to smother the fire by removing Oxygen and it also cools it to some degree.
