Fire and liquid retardants, how to block ‘megafires’

There are extinguishing and / or retardant substances on the market, that is capable of slowing down and even preventing combustion processes and are used all over the world to fight large fires, what the Anglo-Saxons call “megafires”. In the United States, more than 400,000 homes suffer extensive fire damage each year for a total value of no less than seven billion dollars. In most of these interventions, the Fire Brigade uses retardant liquids to block the spread of flames beyond the initial perimeter where the fire was or was triggered. Retardant liquids are often used to fight forest fires in aerial fire fighting. with particular frequency in inaccessible and difficult to reach areas. The liquid is not released directly onto the flames, as occurs with water, but is used to contain the spread of the fire thus giving more time to the ground crews to implement the fire containment measures. forest fires are diluted in water. To make them more easily recognizable and to highlight the areas on which action has already been taken, red dye is added.The use of retardants is also very useful for fire prevention activities to perimeter areas where dangerous outbreaks are likely to occur , as happens, for example, also in the green areas surrounding places of frequent gatherings of people.The editorial staff of tfnews.it asked the President of Speambiente, a company that supplies this type of product to the firefighters, to illustrate the and the effects of the use of retarding or extinguishing substances during fire extinguishing and what effects their use has on man and the environment.
