Fighting Fire With Foam

The Nelson Fire Brigade held a successful exercise using foam to combat "fire, " in a hold of the Mamaku. It did not take long before the hold was frothing with the foam. Once it had enveloped the interior, firemen entered by ladder to complete the job. (Pictures: Ian Skinner).

Like massive doses of soap suds, the foam enters the hold
