Industrial Foam School programme opens for industrial and municipal firefighters
Perimeter Solutions has announced the launch of the Industrial Foam School, a new training programme designed for industrial firefighters, hazardous materials teams and municipal firefighters working in or alongside industrial facilities.
According to Perimeter Solutions, the first session will be held at the Delaware State Fire Academy in Dover, Delaware, on 28–29 May 2025.
The two-day course provides technical instruction and practical training focused on the use of fluorine-free firefighting foam products.
Participants will receive instruction on foam application methods, incident preplanning and the handling of foam in industrial fire settings.
Fluorine-free foam products to be used in practical exercises
Participants will use Perimeter Solutions’ fluorine-free foam solutions during hands-on training, where permitted.
These include SOLBERG VERSAGARD 1×3, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 and SOLBERG RE-HEALING 3×3 SP-100.
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.”
He added: “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.”
Further sessions scheduled in Canada and the United States
Perimeter Solutions has confirmed two further training sessions in October 2025.
The first will take place at Lambton College in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada on 9–10 October.
The second will be held at The Fire Academy of the South in Jacksonville, Florida, on 28–29 October.
Each session will be limited to 30 participants.
