TECHNICAL FIELD

This invention relates generally to the firefighting field, and more specifically to a new and useful system in the firefighting field.

BACKGROUND

Aqueous film forming foams (AFFF) have wide research, defense, and industrial applications. AFFFs are used predominantly as a fire-fighting retardant to actively extinguish liquid fires and are a well-developed technology used by the US Department of Defense since the early 70's. However, the inherent toxic and non-biodegradable nature of the fluorochemicals used in AFFFs, such as—perfluoroalkyl carbonates (PFAC), perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFOS), and flourotelomer sulfonates (FTS) —poses a severe threat to the environment.

Thus, there is a need in the firefighting field for new and useful system for extinguishing fires. This invention provides such a new and useful system and a method of manufacture therefor.
