N.C. Forest Service - Class A Foam Purchasing Assistance

The N.C. Forest Service (NCFS) has Class A foam available for purchase by North Carolina fire departments. The foam can be used on all Class A fires and can greatly increase the wetting capability of water. Astaris Phos Chek is currently the only available brand for purchase.

The NCFS obtains the foam through a blanket purchase order which results in substantial savings. The foam is then resold by the agency at cost to fire departments. The current price for the foam is $117.75 for a 5-gallon pail. If interested in purchasing the foam, contact your county forest ranger or submit an order form.
