Compressed air foam system.
An on-board air comresser is used to inject air into the foam/water mix. Gives a far "foamier" foam straight out the branch. Mix can be adjusted "wetter" or "drier" depending on the application. Can be used for covering fuel, oil, fuel/oil fires, etc, but also has many rural uses...
