While a number of different types of foam are commercially available for fighting chemical fire, only two types of foam are considered in this book: "ordinary foam, such as AFFF or protein foam and "alcohol" foam, i.e., alcohol resistant foam. "Alcohol" foam is recommended for some water miscible and some immiscible flammable liquids which tend to break down other foams. In cases where a doubt exists as to the requirement for or efficiency of "alcohol" foam, "ordinary" foam is recommended. 1, record 1, English, - immiscible%20flammable%20liquid
