Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) has been a cornerstone of fuel-fire suppression in naval aviation and shipboard firefighting for decades—especially where jet fuel and other flammable liquids create fast-moving, high-heat emergencies. Today, much of the concern around “AFFF exposure in the Navy” cen
AFFF firefighting foam has a complicated legacy: it helped generations of responders knock down fast-moving fuel fires, yet it has also been linked to long-lasting environmental contamination because many historical formulations relied on PFAS (“forever chemicals”). Today, many organizations face a
AFFF foam is a special tool for fighting fires with liquids that can burn. This foam makes a thin layer on top of the fire. The layer stops oxygen from reaching the flames. It also keeps vapor from getting out. The foam and film work together to put out the fire. They cool the fire and stop it from
