45m diameter Fully Involved Gasoline Storage Tank
Successfully Extinguishment with Mass Stream Application
Developments:
1. Open floating roof storage tanks do not have fixed fire protection systems to
address full surface fires therefore manual intervention with Type-III
application is required.
2. Newly applied logistical methods and mass stream delivery with the
combined use of 1,000-gpm Hydro-Foam nozzles and 3x6% AFFF/AR-AFFF
foam concentrates.
3. No fire apparatus required for foam stream delivery as all equipment being
portable and mobile.
4. The need for greater efficiency for firewater hydraulics.

82m diameter Fully Involved Gasoline Storage Tank
Successfully Extinguishment with mass stream Footprint Application
Developments:
1. Nearing 20-years of historically repeatable and proven use of manual
intervention with Type-III applications to ensure control and extinguishment.
2. Increased Application Rates and Dual High Volume mass stream
deliveries with high performance 3x6% AFFF/AR-AFFF foam concentrate.
3. The entire operation performed with supplementary firefighting
equipment being fully transportable portable and mobile.
4. Large diameter firewater hydraulics.
5. Cooling Water where, when and when-not to be applied.
6. The need to Improve Logistical Capabilities.
