New Foam Smothers Fires A new gas-foam preparation is pumped on fires by a jet engine. It puts it out fast enough and then floats in the air in a chemical phenomenon. Technician sets container of fuel on fire. Machine produces foam which creeps across the floor to the contained fire. Fire is smothered by foam, but in the process the foam becomes lightweight. Foam pieces float into the air.
