Sažetak

In accordance with increasing technological innovations in operational work, necessarily comes to changing of operational-tactical procedures depending on the type of intervention. Main goal is to enable better fire protection by the use of newly developed and available equipment and extinguishing agents. In 2002. the CAFS system for fire compressed foam (Compressed Air Foam System) was introduced in Croatia. The system allows active and preventive fire extinguishing, suitable when a fire takes on the characteristics of several types of fire. Thanks to the fine dosing of humidity foam, increase of efficiency is obtained by the use of only one tank of water on the fire trucks. This characteristic comes to the fore especially in areas with limited amounts of water. Furthermore, the quality of the foam is several times improved compared to the foam obtained in a classical method. Good adhesion to surfaces of all kinds makes compressed foam an extremely good mean of preventing spread of fire class “A “. Compressed foam can also be used as a good extinguishing agent for fire class “B “. There are some limitations with regard to the capacity CAFS is significantly lower compared to the possibilities of classical foam system. However better insight in foam system capabilities offers new operational-tactical procedures for fire extinguishing.
