CAFS
CET 35 CFM GAS
The CET CAFS provides a self-contained, gasolinepowered, “slide-in” type compressed air foam system (CAFS) unit. The CAFS unit is designed to fit into the back of a standard length and width pick-up truck body, to discharge water only, air only or compressed air foam from the same discharge outlet. In addition, the consistency of the compressed air foam (expansion ratio), wet/dry is fully adjustable.

ADVANTAGES OF A CET CAFS:
- Class A foam allow faster fire suppression and extinguishment than plain water
- Foam clings to most surfaces and protects exposures much longer than plain water
- Class A foam may provide long-term cost savings and may reduce property damage
- Class A foam increases efficiency and conservation of water supply
- Class A foam can be produced at a relatively low cost
- Class A foam forms a protective blanket
- Foam is visible during and after application
- CAFS attack lines are lighter than plain water hose lines
- Foam use may help to preserve evidence of fire cause
- Class A foam aids wildland/urban interface attack
