About 35 years ago I was working in a hangar at a UK airport when the foam system suddenly deployed accidentally. In a few minutes we had 6 feet of foam on the floor before someone hit the override switch to shut it off. The problem was we had a B747 in there undergoing very heavy maintenance. The foam system included foam canons that shot the foam up into the air right over the aircraft parked in the hangar. The foam got in everywhere, it took ages to clean it out. It happened again at another company I works for, but this time I was off shift and only saw a video. But there was an Airbus A320 in the hangar with all the doors open at the time. Again it took ages to clean it out! Quite spectacular when it goes off.
@@henrylo6773if a plane catches fire, even with a fire suppression system, it is a write-off. No. This is to make sure it doesn't kill people and set the entire airport on fire.
For anyone who doesn't know that is AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) 94% water 6% concentrated soap. It main purpose is putting out class B fires (jet fuel and other flammable liquids. Edit: Yes the term "soap" is a touch misleading (years ago that was how it was explained to me) I am not that familiar with the science of how AFFF works just the concept and components of the system. Also yes AFFF is corrosive however it is not going to be used unless there is a lot of fire in saying this a circuit board on the fritz or rust is going to be the least of someone's problems.
@@howardsimpson489yeah from what I've heard not only is this stuff kinda toxic but it also corrodes the aircraft components making and any airframe smothered in the stuff either a total loss or at best very expensive to repair?
I'm installing one for Gulfstream in Arizona right now. They are no longer using AFFF foam. To many cancer causing agents were found in that stuff. I have a battalion chief firefighter dead because of it and another fire truck engineer going through cancer from it
@@ahmaddanielazmi1339 it's not that corrosive however in it's concentrated form for long-term storage it does have to be stored in a copper nickel container and also a little bit of Rusty nuts and bolts is way better than a plane or multiple planes burning down.
In case anyone is wondering it takes two flame detectors to set off the foam. The men you see running set off one on the far end of the hangar then set off one on the near side. That is why it takes so long.
@@jessicahelther99 In an actual fire they probably go off automatically and more or less simultaneously when they both sense above a certain temperature, manual activation during a test generally takes longer for most systems and has more steps to keep idiots from accidentally setting it off.
Dealt with similar systems while I was in the navy. We were going through an inspection cycle and part of the inspection was to properly tag out or secure certain portions of the system so it would not actually release and then go and push the activation buttons to make sure that the system started properly but since we secured the system to recirculate it would not dump. The chief in charge of the inspection wasn’t happy when the inspector said, it isn’t tagged out properly, tag it out properly and after lunch we will resume. After the inspector left for lunch the chief to prove they were right went and pushed the button and from what I heard said “don’t tell me I don’t know what I’m doing” while pushing the button. Well the inspector was correct and it released all over like 3 super hornets all with their cockpits open and 1 of which was fully opened up for an inspection and like 2 sea hawks. So the aviation maintenance has to basically go through and completely recertify all those birds for flight from my understanding. But hey. Don’t tell them they don’t know how to do their job…

I work in a airplane hangar where we get C-17s , C-130s, and C-5s and we have this as well. It takes 5 minutes to fill up the entire hangar from floor to roof, wall to wall.
Worth noting is the contractors deliver the foam in very useful blue poly barrels they don't need afterwards so if you ask nicely and offer to take them all they may give them to you. If you slice off the bottom of one and the top from another (a cutting disk on an angle grinder, a recip saw or circular saw works well) you now have a handy container that seals so well against moisture you may have to pry it apart. Rinse out the foam residue of course but that's biodegradable. I used mine for outdoor parts storage and I've left engine parts outdoors for over fifteen years without moisture intrusion. They're great for livestock feed and much more.

@@nearbygamerfanable it is corrosive though. Any aircraft caught in it would have to be immediately cleaned thuroughly and most of the sensitive components would have to be replaced.
The fun part is that without the active ingredient (the foam mixture) you would be standing under a misting rain wondering how it could ever put out a fire.
You leave the hanger , mission impossible music begins to play, The Roomba sends a distress signal thousands of Roomba’s appear jumping out the back of a cargo plane with tiny Roomba sized parachutes, they’re lined in formation they go in.. some have their sensors blinded, others get their brushes clogged, but they solider on cleaning with robotic efficacy. In minutes the foam is cleaned up. The mopping Roomba’s are sent in the floor sparklers, Winbots rappel from the ceiling and clean the windows satisfied in there cleaning job the Roomba’s beep in delight. The celebratory beeps gets your attention. Mission impossible music stops You open the door as you do the Roomba’s have disappeared like ninjas. You look in awe as the only Roomba left goes back to its charger.
That is one of the coolest videos I have ever seen. Thank goodness there was not a real fire. I hope no fire of any kind irrupt‘s anywhere like that, so it is a good thing that the foam suppression System did its job.
Foams used for fire fighting are almost always very safe for the environment. One of my neighboring departments fills up a field in a park about a foot deep with foam every year for kids to play in. So yeah wash it down the drain most likely
Reminds me of when I worked in a place with a server room. That same alarm tone, but if you heard it and you were inside, you had 30 seconds to exit before the doors locked and the Halon displaced all the breathable atmosphere in the room.
That’s not how Halon works, it breaks the chemical reaction of a fire. You can easily look it up. The amazing part is that it stops the thermal energy, a cool surface remains.
They actually silence themselves in favor of those faint “hangar doors are in motion” alarms you can hear while the doors are closing. Then they start blasting again once the doors close, and when they do, that’s your final 60-second warning to run like hell if you haven’t already, ‘cause the Foampocalypse is coming…
I'm not sure what kind of foam that is, but I am impressed by the rate of expansion, force through pipes, and the ability to fill about one third one of third of the contained space in 2 and a half minutes. Good stuff.
Older types of high-expansion foam used perfluorooctane sulfate and perfluorooctanoic acid as key components in the AAAF fire suppression systems. These are both types of polyfluoroalkyls, or PFAs, which are the stuff we make nonstick pans out of. They can certainly be environmentally hazardous, so the air force has developed more environmentally friendly alternatives and has so far gradually been replacing them since 2015. As to whether it's carcinogenic or not I'm not sure, but I think some studies from fairly recently seem to point to that being true. I can't tell what foam they're using here though

Ckc dillpickle The point of foam is to suppress the fire. Water will not work on chemical nor aircraft fires and will actually make the fire worse. In firefighting foam The surfactants used must produce foam in concentration of less than 1%. Other components of fire-retardant foams are organic solvents (e.g., trimethyl-trimethylene glycol and hexylene glycol), foam stabilizers (e.g., lauryl alcohol), and corrosion inhibitors. Using water or water based products will worsen a chemical fire Edit: i took out the joke because people thought i was being serious but it all good Edit: btw i took that from google so... stop with the replied
BigJaZz Music ok edgelord calm down. He said probably, he didn’t exactly know and just thought that it’s water based, which it is. Nobody cares about what you stated but at the very least don’t ‘casually’ insult someone.
If it’s anything like what’s in a fire extinguisher I’m pretty sure it would make you suffocate to death, tho I could be entirely off on this and I’m too lazy to fact check but whatever
@@lonelegend4845 I gas mask only works when areas are ventilated meaning theres air. Wearing that will kill you even faster. It doesnt just filter air through the foam if that's what you're thinking
Imagine a guy was there, and at the very last second realizes "oh my god, I just realized I had all of my shit down there, and now I can't get it back", or something like that.
I’m in the USAF and they warn us about these as we have one in each of our hangers. That foam is deadly to us. It sucks the oxygen out of the air and if you get caught in it your done for. So we ever hear those sirens, drop everything and run
@@windy8872 it's not just foam, this stuff sucks oxygen out of the air to kill the fires. We had two people die once because they accidentally set the alarm off for the suppression system

When I worked for the US Marshalls air operations division in OKC I accidentally set off the foam fire supression by hitting it with the power cable when I was putting it back on the hook which was about 10 in away from the fire handle on the wall. I had only worked there about 1 to 2 weeks. I felt awful.

And that's why I don't fly. Putting an aircraft back into service after electrical components get doused with corrosive fluid.
I know there's an alarm to warn you a few minutes before, but if for whatever reason you can't get away, would you be able to breathe in it?
@@destituteanddecadent9106i don’t think you can breathe that substance in? i think it’s toxic
Really hope there were no lasting effects from cleaning it away, loads of people say that stuff is carcinogenic.
Yes, they are required to do this, one time, after the system is installed and before the hangar is used. And yes, it's EXPENSIVE.
Better then having a fucking 777 exploding killing a ton of people.
Cheaper than buying new planes.
@@henrylo6773if a plane catches fire, even with a fire suppression system, it is a write-off.
No. This is to make sure it doesn't kill people and set the entire airport on fire.
It's just soap and water.. I bet after a day or 2 its nothing more than a big soapy puddle you can sweep into the drain or vacuum up
And after refilling the system... how do you know you did it right? Do you test it!??!?!

That hangar full of planes and a fire starts. That place will be gone before the foam even hits the floor.
My favorite part is where the foam falls on the floor. Would do nothing to an engine fire.
It's good to know the entire hangar will burn down before the sprinklers actually get activated.

Laser show, strobe light, glow sticks, a sick DJ and a shit tonne of party animals! Nuff said.
Male stripper?
No male strippers, just Trance and Drugs✌️😉
That’s all I could think while watching
*YOU FORGOT THE DISCO BISCUITS....and I ain't talking about the band... LOL*
We'll call it the cancer ball
Wonder how much it costs to recharge that system
Probably more than a new hanger
It's probably a water based solution
Ckc dillpickle
The point of foam is to suppress the fire. Water will not work on chemical nor aircraft fires and will actually make the fire worse. In firefighting foam The surfactants used must produce foam in concentration of less than 1%. Other components of fire-retardant foams are organic solvents (e.g., trimethyl-trimethylene glycol and hexylene glycol), foam stabilizers (e.g., lauryl alcohol), and corrosion inhibitors.
Using water or water based products will worsen a chemical fire
Edit: i took out the joke because people thought i was being serious but it all good
Edit: btw i took that from google so... stop with the replied
BigJaZz Music ok edgelord calm down. He said probably, he didn’t exactly know and just thought that it’s water based, which it is. Nobody cares about what you stated but at the very least don’t ‘casually’ insult someone.

Brendan Adair 2 years later lol
This is great lol
Ur so funny and original
I’m stupid, but Thank you :)
Brendan Adair its pretty cool doe you didnt enjoy even a lil?
Imagine accidentally starting the fire alarm and getting stuck inside lmao.
That happened here at Tinker and someone died because of it
You would immediately stop the fire alarm.
Katariah Fierson hey another Oklahoman here nice keep doing the good work
@@yourmom5218 sweet!!! And always.
There is an abort button for that reason, at least on the systems i work with
Just think if this was monetized you’d be owning that hangar lol
Their is so many systems but when their is fire for real, everything get destroyed buy the fire! 😂
Is it just me but I kinda want to go in the foam
Aight, we all do but good chance you will get diseases rashes and fuck it, herpes if you get in that foam
Lone Legend ye
If it’s anything like what’s in a fire extinguisher I’m pretty sure it would make you suffocate to death, tho I could be entirely off on this and I’m too lazy to fact check but whatever
Lone Legend lmao
@@lonelegend4845 I gas mask only works when areas are ventilated meaning theres air. Wearing that will kill you even faster. It doesnt just filter air through the foam if that's what you're thinking
the hanger looks quite small until you see the 2 men running at the right of the screen lmao
EXACTLY lmao
@@CookieJan D-... Dad? I thought you were buying cigarettes where'd you go?
oisin mcgovern frrrrr though😂😂
@@user-wq9mw2xz3j *confused grunting*
Not to say that isnt a big hanger but the ones I work in you could definitely fit that hanger into. Curious to see how the fss works in mine🤔😂
Almost 6M people:
"hmm hangar? Foam? hmm interesting, imma watch this"
Imagine a guy was there, and at the very last second realizes "oh my god, I just realized I had all of my shit down there, and now I can't get it back", or something like that.
Floor: So.. How much foam are we going to have today Mr. Ceiling?
Mr. Ceiling: yes
please stop this format

@@gallox my g
@@veeti4210 yes
Me: that building doesn’t seem that big.
Also me: *see’s the two guys running at the beginning* nevermind, much bigger then I thought it was
Johnathon Lee thats exactly what i was thinking lolll
its pretty big, but probably never as big as looking straight up to the ceiling in the waterpark area of great wolf lodge
lol same
The ladder in the middle is 6ft tall for scale
@@bugbaby2077 bit specific but okay
the janitor needs a raise
Afterwards:
"Man, what are we going to do with all this foam?"
"Hmm...what's the record for the world's largest pillow?"
Fire: Exists
Foam: I'm about to end this mans whole career.
a classic one
😂
But what if...
*THE CIELING IS ON FIRE*
flip the gravity switch and it'll all go to the ceiling. duh.
We built a ceiling on the ceiling so if the ceiling sets on fire we can use the foam on the ceiling to put out the fire on the ceiling.
Just fill it to the brim
@@thanospenguin2374 *300IQ*
Obvisouly you call the ceiling fire fighters
Alright guys we're running another fire suppression test tomorrow.
Airbase custodian: What a coincidence, I'm gonna be sick tomorrow.
SSG: I loved you like a brother!
Ladder: I HATE YOU!
I’m in the USAF and they warn us about these as we have one in each of our hangers. That foam is deadly to us. It sucks the oxygen out of the air and if you get caught in it your done for. So we ever hear those sirens, drop everything and run
Isn't most of the procedures for anything going wrong in the military when alarms go off is to run the f*** away and don't look back tho?
In 2014 at Eglin AFB 3 contractors died from suffocation when they entered the building to see the foam
Guy a few comments up said it was just soap and water.
@logann7942 nooooope. Special formula to make it fill that much space that quick
@@Shinzon23 I figured
Why did i suddenly become interested in fire extinguishing systems
after watching this I had to watch more and this is that random video in your recommended
Same 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Same dude this is weird.
Legend has it
2 years later they are still cleaning up the foam!😂😂😂
When the final beat drops at a foam party LIIIIIIT🔥🔥
I have 2 questions...
1. Why was this in my recommended?
2. Why did I stay and watch the whole thing?
1. Because UA-cam is on drugs again.
2. And becuase you have nothing better to do.
I don’t know
@@theweirdone4794 good joke
Duane Clarence same
TheWeird One you got it backwards.. UA-cam is bored , he’s doing the drugs
-Where should we go skiing?
-Lets go in a hangar
I was waiting for this type of comment!
damn that ladder really be vibing in such a crisis
I just keep thinking how cool it would be to throw a rave in this hanger for the ultimate foam party
Das a nice ware house you got there, would be a shame if some foamy BOi came by and
E X P A N D
My fucking ribs hurt dude 🤣
**hangar*
Help there's a fire in the hangar!
(1 min later)
Help everyone's drowning!
Esse nome é tuga haha
Its foam like bubbles
No r/ woosh needed because this man dont know what foam is
@@windy8872 it's not just foam, this stuff sucks oxygen out of the air to kill the fires. We had two people die once because they accidentally set the alarm off for the suppression system
@@smackmybones1371 I was legit wondering what the material was and why people wernt playing in it.
That would be why.
xD
That’s some awesome engineering right there
That's one heck of a foam party
You should make a video showing the cleanup
EDIT: I've never had one of my comments blow up like this. Thanks to all who liked.
To answer a popular question in the replies, no, I'm not affiliated with JoogSquad, just a fan.

*Sweepers Sweepers, man your brooms. LOL*
Heard it all evaporates after a little bit
@@americaproud9344 not even him lol
jamason g. Your dumb
Hanger owner: So, how much foam does it need?
Fire Department: Yes.

I imagine it would be a major “oops” if someone accidentally bumped into the fire alarm pull station and set it off. 😂
A pull station won't set this off. It's typically an independent system just for that reason
When I worked for the US Marshalls air operations division in OKC I accidentally set off the foam fire supression by hitting it with the power cable when I was putting it back on the hook which was about 10 in away from the fire handle on the wall. I had only worked there about 1 to 2 weeks. I felt awful.
That’s an unbelievably bad design. Almost inevitable that’d it happen.
Fire system: this
Ladder in the middle: why you bully me
XD
the ladder is there for you to see how much foam there is
XD 🤣
Bertram Groinig tell that to the ladder
It appears I've travelled back in time to see a 2011 esque comment
"Hey, im missing my ladder. Anybody seen it?" 😂😂😂
Hahaha lol
Well, wenn cleaned it.
Where is this at
05:04 haha
Dad joke
that one ladder left in the center of the room is like "haha i'm in danger!"
I feel like the cleanup would be a much more interesting video. Which says a lot because this was pretty awesome.
Mom:just put a little bit of soap in
6 year old me’s mind:*ok mom whatever you say*
A few minutes later:2:09
Lame.

Plot twist: It melts off there skin.
@Daniel Hollingsworth now theres a plot twist😂😂
@Daniel Hollingsworth I mean ok👌
@Daniel Hollingsworth Daniel I meant nothing disrespectful but the "I mean ok👌" I fully agree it is factual I guess I should have clarified I have much love for you as a fellow human and I wish the best for you peace and love dawg I ain't trying to get in no pity youtube comment beef✌❤
Most wholesome conversation on UA-cam.
Well "Jet fuel can melt steel beams" gotta play it safe.
I do like the ceiling fans inside the hangar!
Nobody:

CallxOFxDookie id rather watch this than Fortnite
Lmao
I really don't get this meme
@@Sevival the meme is that nobody asked for this video to be recommended, but UA-cam decided to show it to everyone anyways.
MrVIPGuest yeah but this guys grammar is fucked. Nobody saying nothing means everyone is saying something 😂. It should be everybody:
"Alright, now that the test is done, can you just sign right here, verifying that you witnessed a successful discharge, and that you'd like to refill all of the tanks?"
*looks at refill charge*
*burns down hanger*
The ocean will love this!
This is my kingdom come was playing in my mind as I watched this lol
