Fire fighting in underground roadways: experiments with foam plugs
Method consists of fitting fabric net across roadway; outby side of net is continuously sprayed with dilute solution of wetting agent; ventilation current through wetted net forms bubbles on side of net next to fire, foam is driven down roadway by ventilation until it reaches either fire itself or length of burnt out roadway sufficiently hot to convert water content of foam into steam.
