Foam AFFF
Fire Extinguishers

Advanced Aqueous Film Forming Foam protection for Class A and B hazards. We provide certified annual inspections, recharges, and hydrostatic pressure testing in Albuquerque.

Cooling and Smothering Vapor Barriers

AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) fire extinguishers are designed for fighting liquid hydrocarbon fuel fires. When discharged, the foam forms an expanding layer that floats on top of the liquid fuel, blocking oxygen contact and suppressing dangerous fuel vapors. It serves a vital safety function by preventing re-ignition. It is standard for:

  • Fuel Storage & Logistics: Airports, helipads, refineries, loading docks, and fuel farms.
  • Automotive Hazards: Garages, car dealerships, fleet yards, and engine test booths.
  • Industrial Spraying: Paint shops, solvent mixing bays, and chemical warehouses.

AFFF cylinders are highly versatile, delivering class-leading Class B ratings alongside standard Class A capabilities. FSI New Mexico helps Albuquerque businesses select, place, and inspect their AFFF systems to comply with NFPA standards and municipal fire codes.

Warning: Foam AFFF extinguishers contain water and must NEVER be used on Class C energized electrical fires. Doing so poses a severe shock hazard to the operator.
