"COMPRESSED AIR FOAM SYSTEMS IN LIMITED STAFFING CONDITIONS
EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT
BY: Robert G. Taylor
Morristown Fire Bureau
Morristown, New Jersey
An applied research project submitted to the National Fire
Academy as part of the Executive Fire Officer Program
December, 1997
ABSTRACT
This research project explored the feasibility of enhancing
suppression crews of limited manpower by equipping them with Class-A foam and
Compressed Air Foam Systems (CAFS) technology and training. The problem that was addressed was that, especially in the early
stages of fire suppression operations, there were frequently insufficient
personnel to employ traditional extinguishment methods safely and efficiently.
The purpose of this research project was to determine if CAFS
technology and procedures could be used to increase effectiveness, efficiency,
and safety under limited personnel resource conditions. Descriptive research, including the literature review, was used
to explore the safety and operational results of under-staffing, and to clarify
the present state of development of compressed air foam and class A foam. Evaluative
research was used to measure hoseline handling for CAFS and traditional (plain
water) handlines.
The research questions posed were:
1. What are the effects of
reduced manpower upon suppression activities with regards to efficiency and safety?
2. What are the recognized
advantages and disadvantages of CAFS when used in structural firefighting?
3. How do CAFS hoseline
handling characteristics differ from those of plain water hose lines?
4. Can the use of CAFS by an
understaffed crew reduce the number of stress and fatigue injuries at suppression incidents?
5. Can the use of CAFS
increase the suppression ability of an understaffed firefighting force?
The procedure began with a literature review of staffing
practices, including the effects of minimal s"
