Abstract: Military units and civil defense units have unused reserves of disinfectant, decontaminating, and decontaminating aqueous solutions. Previous experiments have shown that these solutions may be useful for firefighting purposes. This article describes experiments confirming the potential of using disinfecting, degassing, and decontaminating aqueous solutions as fire extinguishing agents. Fire tests were conducted to determine the fire extinguishing properties of an aqueous sulfonol solution using a Class A fire as an example. A method for assessing the electrical conductivity of a sulfonol solution to determine the critical micelle concentration is presented. The results of an experimenton producing fire-extinguishing foam filled with exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine are presented. The fire-extinguishing effect of this foam is compared to standard (air-filled) foam.
