Foaming down the house

Airmen watch, record and gawk as fire suppression foam engulfs a maintenance hangar testing the installation’s high expansion foam discharge in the repair aircraft maintenance hangar April 8, 2015, at Fairchild Air Force Base, Wash. Tests like these are important as aircraft hangars, by their nature, pose unique challenges for the fire protection engineer. The hangar has large, open floor areas with tall roof decks to house Fairchild’s KC-135 Stratotanker. Large quantities of liquid jet fuel are present, and aircraft maintenance activities offer a variety of potential ignition sources. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Benjamin W. Stratton)
