ABSTRACT:
A fireproof boom for containing flammable pollutants on water includes a flotation member, a skirt depending from the flotation member, and at least two layers of heat-resistant, water-sorbent material surrounding the flotation member. 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.
