Difference between Fire Aide / Thunderstorm
Bob Fetterly.
Environmentally difficult no matter which.
If you have an oil fire, all about blanket and thickness. Once the Thunderstorm was applied, it was out.
Fireaide will knock down the flame. The issue is does it keep it down once applied and prevent reflash.
The fireaide was down to negligible level in 15-20 minutes. Thunderstorm lasted 2 days.
Thunderstorm is more expensive.
Reflash?
The goal is to disrupt the fire tetrahedron and put the fire out.
If looking for long term blanket, then different chemical.
