TODAY's high-grade foams provide airport fire-fighting crews with the capability to rapidly knockdown and extinguish fires as a result of aircraft crashes or engine failure.

Here, Michael Clarke, of 3M Industrial Chemicals Group outlines the development of fire fighting foams and their applications, and discusses the merits of the US Military Specification, contrasting it with the recent International Civil Aviation Organisation's specification.
