Held at the Fire and Rescue Academy in Malaysia in 2003. 35 truck tyres are extinguished within 30 seconds.
Small tyre stack extinguished with a 9 litre Fire Extinguisher and 1% F-500 within 14 seconds! 120 litres of Aviation fuel fire – it took 9 seconds to extinguish this!
This clip shows how fast and efficient F-500 cools the metal which can then be touched very quickly.
Tyre Fire lit with Acetone, a neat Acetone Fire, Diesel and Gasoline mix – this shows how quick the fire is extinguished and the efficiency of the cooling effect on metal using F-500.
Goodyear –
This clip is a comparison between water and F-500 in a sprinkler system. This test was carried out prior to the installation of a sprinkler system with F-500 at Goodyear, Memphis.
DMT –
This is an underground testing facility in Germany which has the means to test the water and product usage. The figures speak from themselves and shows that F-500 is the most economical way to put out an involved tyre fire. Less product, less water and more cooling than foam!
