ABSTRACT:
A fireproof boom for containing flammable pollutants on water includes a flotation member and at least two layers of heat-resistant, water-sorbent material surrounding the flotation member. The flotation member is a series of cylindrical metal cans held end-to-end by the heat-resistant material. The heat-resistant, water-sorbent material draws water around the heat-sensitive flotation member, forming steam in the presence of flaming pollutant and allowing only the outer layer of heat-resistant material to become slightly singed.
