On August 23, 2018 at 11:07 a.m., the Spring Lake Park-Blaine-Mounds View Fire Department responded to a report of a plane crash with the aircraft fully involved. SBMFD Engine 5 arrives first and immediately begins suppression operations on the burning aircraft. They are flowing Fireade at 3% through their 1-3/4”hand line and achieved knockdown very quickly, including burning magnesium and approximately 80 gallons of AVGAS. After 10 years in the Air Force/MNANG as an airfield firefighter and using conventional AFFF, I was extremely impressed with the performance of Fireade. The pilot survived and is in the hospital with burns and other trauma. Thank you for the very effective product!

As a long time customer and user of your products, our department has had the opportunity to use and evaluate under actual conditions the newest formulation of FireAde for an extended period of time. Our evaluations come from our own in house testing and training under various conditions with various materials consisting of class “A” and class “B” flammables & combustibles including the new formulations of motor fuels such Flex Fuel, E 85 (Ethanol 85%), Low Sulfur and off road agricultural diesel, and of course unleaded Gasoline in various blends.

Aberdeen Fire & Rescue along with Brown County rural fire departments conducted tests that compared different foam concentrates to find one that would best suit our needs. The purpose of the tests was to find the most effective foam concentrate that we could use on various types of fires. The tests included live fire using various foam brands on significant quantities of Class A and B material. These tests were also conducted with no vendor or sales representative present so our decisions would not be influenced. To ensure equal testing the foam was educted at 1% on class A fires and 3% on class B fires.
