With accidental hangar foam discharges on the increase, NATA has released new online resources as part of its hangar foam fire suppression initiative. The Fire Marshal Toolkit educates those involved in setting local ordinances on hangar construction about factors affecting the decision to require foam fire suppression, such as aviation fuels, types of foam, possible environmental issues resulting from foam, causes of inadvertent system discharges, and insurance considerations.
