US Fire Pump’s Emergency Response Team successfully extinguished a 150′ Naptha tank fire in Lake Charles, Louisiana caused by a lightning strike on June 3, 2023. The firefighting operation presented unique challenges due to the presence of an internal floating roof which collapsed in the tank. However, utilising Dwight’s Signature Series 1 X3 AR-AFFF foam, specifically engineered for such demanding scenarios, proved to be the ultimate solution.
By employing a film-forming foam application, US Fire Pump Emergency Responders were able to successfully reach crucial areas, enabling the efficient extinguishment of the fire. The remarkable achievement marks another milestone for US Fire Pump and their Signature Series Foam products, which have successfully extinguished multiple major fires.
Furthermore, the deployment of Signature Series Vapor Suppressant Product (VSP) for post-extinguishment operations offers effective vapor suppression and delivers substantial cost savings for the customer. As a fluorine-free product, VSP outlasts traditional firefighting foam in its ability to control and mitigate vapors, making it a superior choice for long-term vapor suppression. US Fire Pump continues to lead the industry with its advanced firefighting solutions, driven by a commitment to innovation and the highest safety standards.
