 AERIAL FIREFIGHTING   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Retardant flow rates can also be controlled to vary the retardant coverage level dispersed as required by the intensity of the fire behavior and vegetative fuel type.
Long-term chemical fire retardant that remains effective for days is preferred for use in indirect attack where retardant lines are expected to hold for long periods of time.
Long-term fire retardant is used for the direct attack as well as for indirect attack wherein airtankers lay a continuous line of retardant parallel to the edge (flank) of the fire.

 Fire Retardant, Foam & Water
Fire retardants, foam and water are the three types of matter that can be dropped from an aircraft to slow a fire.
Foam is a suppressant (which is similar to dish soap) that is applied to fires to suppress or extinguish them.
Fire control foam is created by mechanically aerating a water-diluted concentrate, injecting the concentrate into ground or air-borne water tanks, or by simply dropping the mixture from an air tanker or helicopter.

 Flame retardants (EHC 192, 1997)
The flame- retarding effect is due, in all probability, to the oxidation of elemental phosphorus during the combustion process to phosphoric acid or phosphorus pentoxide.
Fire retardants act to break this cycle by affecting chemical and/or physical processes occurring in one or both of the phases.
Since flame retardants are often processed into polymers at elevated temperatures, consideration of the stability of the material at the temperature inherent to the polymer processing is needed, as well as on whether or not the material volatilizes at that temperature or during use.

Many "bedding" or "packing" foams are (a) not fire retardant at all and (b) perform poorly as acoustical treatments.
A fire marshal, fire inspector, or building inspector will be able to interpret this test and compare it to the requirements stated in your local building codes.
Note that all "Classes" of foam are considered "fire retardant." The types of foam to be extremely wary of are those that have no "Class" designation at all.

 A-10 Thunderbolt II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Its engine exhaust passes over the aircraft's horizontal stabilizer and between the twin tails, decreasing the A-10's infrared signature and the likelihood that the aircraft can be targeted by heatseeking missiles.
Aircraft were eventually upgraded with inertial navigation and a Pave Penny laser sensor (marked target seeker) pod that allowed the pilot to direct laser-guided bombs against targets marked by friendly forces.
A-10 pilots have acquired something of a reputation for being trigger-happy due to their involvement in two notorious 'friendly fire' incidents.

 Foam supplier says Nightclub owner, Michael Derderian, bought non-fire retardant soundproofing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Whether the soundproofing was safe and fire retardant, as required by law, is now at the center of the investigation into the blaze at West Warwick club last week, which has killed 97 and injured another 186 people.
First maybe the fire inspector was told misleadingly it was non-flammable and second maybe the fire inspector didn't comprehend that a band would be stupid enough to set a big pyrotechnics show in such a small room.
The club owners could have also said that they do not allow pyro's and they passed inspection, with the fire inspector saying to himself, only an idiot would light pyro's in a room like this, and it looks like the club owners and the band were idiots and their idiocy had tragic consequences.
