With increasing pressure on foam users to adopt policies minimising environmental consequences of their actions, it has never been more critical to ensure that firefighters are fully trained in the latest issues of flammable liquid fire response. This Workshop provides a unique opportunity to hear about best practice application techniques, large scale research work and the current issues of foam application – as well as the opportunity to take part in hands-on firefighting in realistic conditions!
The course content is based on the Course Director’s many years of experience running such events internationally. It draws heavily on the collective knowledge and experience of the LASTFIRE Group (www.lastfire.org) – the global industry organisation developing best practice guidance in Storage Tank Fire Hazard Management and leading the World in large scale end-user testing of new generation foams, including Fluorine Free types. LASTFIRE has also developed best practice guidance in Foam “Cradle to Grave” Assurance. The research test results and the Assurance Process will be described and discussed during the Workshop. This, with Hands-On demonstrations and exercises, makes this a truly unique independently run event.
