In an effort to provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to fire hydrants, Foam Systems has developed a new line of foam fire hydrant systems. These systems use less water and therefore have reduced runoff in the environment. The company also has a variety of recycled material options for customers who want to be even more sustainable with their purchases.
Foam fire hydrants are useful because they create an impenetrable wall of foam between the flames and water supply, which helps firefighters maintain their stamina throughout their shifts
In order to decrease the number of injuries sustained by both firefighters and civilians in fires, some have suggested that more fire hydrants should be equipped with foam-based solutions instead of water-based ones.
In the event of a fire, fire hydrants are used to provide firefighters with an adequate amount of water to put out the flames. However, many fire hydrant systems are not equipped with foam based fire extinguisher solutions. It has been suggested that adding foam to hydrants could increase the safety of many firefighters and civilians who depend on these devices in case of a fire.
