General Information about Foams Fire-fighting foams are generally used to extinguish liquid spill fires. When the flammable liquid is water soluble, it will be diluted rendering the flammability to be nothing, but water alone cannot be used for many reasons. If the spilled liquid is lighter than water and insoluble in water, it will float on top spreading the fire. Water will steam and boil causing an eruption increasing the acceleration of the fire’s burning rate if the flammable liquid is oil
