FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DuraFoam makes its premier at the FireRescue Conference & Expo, in Las Vegas
Now fire fighting foams can last for hours – instead of minutes
November 8, 2005
Las Vegas, NV - When it comes to Direct Attack, a thick blanket of Class A Foam has been a useful tool for many years. For burning or ready-to-burn materials, Class A foam provides a barrier that cools, penetrates and separates oxygen from the fuel source. Now these same fire retarding qualities can be used for Indirect Attack as well. Class A foam can now be applied far in advance of an on-coming fire, making Class A foam a powerful tool for the firefighter, simply by using a new product called “DuraFoam”.
According to its inventor, Brent Gagermeier, DuraFoam is not intended to replace your current Class A foam; instead it provides an inexpensive way to enhance the retardant properties of your existing foams, by extending the effective duration and increasing the weight of the foam structure, which makes it less susceptible to the effects of wind.
Regardless of the type of system you’re using; aspirated, injection or even CAFS; DuraFoam can transform minutes of protection into hours. This new product, DuraFoam, gives firefighters a useful tool for Structure Protection, Aerial Application, Fire Breaks and even Mop-Up Operations. Basically, when ever a longer barrier of protection is needed, DuraFoam can make this possible without the financial burden of having to purchase additional equipment..
For most, having a versatile, effective and affordable product would be enough, but as Brent Gagermeier pointed out, these were the goals, the safety of our firefighter and the structures they treat were the foundation of the research. Unlike other products, DuraFoam will not cause severe skin rashes, pose a threat to the eyes, make paint peel from a structure or curl roofing shingles. The ingredients that make up DuraFoam are environmentally safe and found in many of our soaps, toothpastes, assorted toiletries, medical applications and has been used in the agricultural industry for many years.
DuraFoam is being offered by Energetech’s Wildland Fire Division, which is located in Midvale, Utah. For general sales questions and inquiries, they can be contacted by phone – (800) 972-1736. For technical questions, call Brent Gagermeier at (909) 338-4940. E-mail: durafoam.tfg@gmail.com
