ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for dispensing a surfactant for use in extinguishing fires, particularly wildfires, which provides two separate means for storing the surfactant and the water needed to expand the surfactant into a high grade of foam to be extinguished over the wildfire. The apparatus also incorporates a stationary mixing device for mixing and re-mixing the water and surfactant to the extent required to produce the high quality of foam needed to extinguish wildfires. An emergency valve release is incorporated such that the entire apparatus of the invention will become operative with a single release of this valve by the operator of the equipment incorporating the inventive apparatus. The inventive apparatus can be advantageously installed on heavy equipment used in fighting wildfires.
