Perimeter Solutions has announced the launch of its Industrial Foam School, a two-day training program aimed at industrial and municipal firefighters and hazmat teams.
The first session will be held at the Delaware State Fire Academy in Dover, Delaware on May 28-29, 2025.
According to Perimeter Solutions, the training will focus on the effective application of fluorine-free firefighting foams.
Mark Siem, Chemist and Manager of Business Development at Perimeter Solutions, said: “Firefighting foam plays a critical role in combating fires, helping to reduce the amount of time firefighters spend on scene, which ultimately improves both firefighter and community safety.”
Training will focus on fluorine-free foam application
The course will provide instruction on foam application techniques and incident preplanning using fluorine-free foam.
Where allowed, attendees will apply actual foam products during hands-on sessions.
Siem said: “The Perimeter Solutions Industrial Foam School will equip firefighters with the essential knowledge and skills needed to effectively use today’s advanced fluorine-free firefighting foams.”
Attendees will use Perimeter Solutions’ fluorine-free foam products including SOLBERG VERSAGARD 1×3, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 and SOLBERG RE-HEALING 3×3 SP-100.
Additional sessions scheduled in Florida and Ontario
Two further sessions are scheduled for later in 2025.
Training will take place October 9-10 at Lambton College in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada.
A separate session will be held October 28-29 at The Fire Academy of the South in Jacksonville, Florida.
Registration, cost and capacity details announced
The Delaware training will cost $599 per person and will be capped at 30 participants.
Additional sessions are expected across the United States and Canada during 2025 and 2026.
