The choice of a suitable foam concentrate is the first precondition of achieving a foam (as an extinguishing agent) with optimal properties to extinguish A and B class fires. On the basis of the given facts, this article compares some physical properties of foam concentrates and their effect on the environment (environmental friendliness).

Keywords: foam concentrate, physical characteristics, Alfa A, Pyronil, effect on grass stands
