I was personally waiting to the lights to dim, strobes to come on, and the PA to announce that the foam party had just been declared active! Followed by some hardcore techno or something... each to their own :D
Been caught in that before. Back in 1985, they installed natural gas heater in the # 10 Maintenance Hanger at CFB Trenton in Canada, but they forgot to adjust the the fire sensor system. Son on the first cold night we hauled the Boeing 707 into the hanger and closed the doors, the heaters kicked in and the fire system sensed too much heat and the hanger in all 6 bays filled with suppression foam. All the doors closed automatically and people who hadn't seen it before went to a panic. Actually it was pretty neat, clean the hanger floor really good too
Instructor: "And here we have our new AFFF emergency foam system. Should an emergency arise, just pull this lever." Student: "Like this?" Instructor: "What have you _done_?" Student: "Woah there, just tell the operator to turn the thing off!!!" Instructor: "I don't think you understand! Once the foam starts... *there is no stopping it*."
At the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, in the area where aircraft are on display, there is a Federal Signal SelecTone alarm speaker above a large green square with the letters AFFF. Now I know what it is for.

Love foam sprinklers! By the way, shout out question to anyone who knows more about foam sprinklers then me. What are the foam sprinklers that sit on the floor and the nozzles go back and forth spraying foam called? I found a video of some of those a year back but can't find it now.
@@zombieregimeGet out more LMAO I get out on a quite frequent basis, however I have yet to come across a airplane hangar let alone its foam fire suppression system. The only stuff I get to see are fire alarms, exit signs, hose reels and at some places fire sprinklers (Normal water ones). Plus hydrants outside but that's about it. But I don't work for the military or any airline or fire brigade, that might be the explanation actually. And sorry for my bad english, it's not my native language but at least I'n not using any translator app thingy.
@@psirvent8 [hausser les épaules] Les langues secondes sont difficiles. De plus, c'est une langue de plus que ce que je connais (si l'on ne compte pas l'allemand, ou l'espagnol, très approximatifs). Suffisant pour moi. De plus, j'utilise totalement Google Translate pour cela. Ceci étant dit, j’ai appris aujourd’hui qu’apparemment « Bricolage » signifie D.I.Y. Et j'ai trouvé ça plutôt intéressant !
They tell the maintenance man there's a small water spill in the hanger room. bring a mop, a bucket and sponge. He shows up and says Aw H**L NO!! I quit!
The NFPA 409 committee have again rejected the use of 'inside air' for high expansion foam production in aircraft hangars. Outside air has to be used for life safety.
ANy ideas on how to deal with the wastes, other than having to haul it off to a landfill??? The treatment of the product into the wastewater system is limited in volume. So what are the more feasible options??
