  Complete Guide to ISUZU Foam Fire Trucks – Specs, Uses & Troubleshooting

  May 30, 2025

  The ISUZU Foam Fire Truck is a high-efficiency firefighting vehicle specifically designed to combat Class A (solid fires), Class B (liquid fires), and mixed fires. Built on the high-performance ISUZU chassis, it integrates the core functions of a water tank fire truck while adding a foam fire suppression system. This system utilizes a foam proportioning device to mix water and foam concentrate in precise ratios, forming a highly covering and long-lasting foam extinguishing agent. This significantly enhances the efficiency of extinguishing flammable liquid fires, such as those involving oil and chemicals. The vehicle is widely used in high-risk fire scenarios, including petrochemical plants, airports, and warehouses, and features rapid response, operational flexibility, and ease of maintenance.   I. Main Structure of the ISUZU Foam Fire TruckThe ISUZU Foam Tanker Fire Truck consists of the following main components: the ISUZU chassis, crew cab, tank, pump and piping system, power take-off and transmission device, additional cooler, auxiliary electrical system, firefighting equipment and fixtures, foam mixing system, and an air foam-water dual-purpose cannon (as shown in the figure below). Among these, the chassis, crew cab, tank, power take-off and transmission device, additional cooler, auxiliary electrical system, and firefighting equipment and fixtures are identical to those of a water tank fire truck.The key difference between the ISUZU Foam Fire Engine and a water tank fire truck is that the foam fire truck is equipped with a foam tank and a foam proportioning system. The foam fire truck primarily consists of a foam proportioner, pressure water piping, foam concentrate inlet/outlet piping, and ball valves. The foam proportioning system is used during firefighting to mix water and foam concentrate in a specific ratio, delivering the mixture to foam-generating devices.   II. Operation of the ISUZU Foam Fire TruckThe operation of the foam fire truck is similar to that of a water tank fire truck, with the addition of foam system operations.(1) Foam Concentrate FillingThere are three methods to fill the foam concentrate tank of the ISUZU Foam Fire Truck:1. Directly pouring through the manhole.2. Using a dedicated foam transfer pump.3. Using the vehicle’s compressed air to transfer foam concentrate from a barrel.The steps for the third method are as follows:• Connect the suction hose, air charging nozzle, tire inflation hose, and fittings.• Start the engine to ensure sufficient compressed air pressure in the vehicle’s air reservoir.• Close the air foam proportioner and open the inlet valve to the foam concentrate tank.• Connect the inflation hose to the charging nozzle to allow compressed air into the foam barrel.• The foam concentrate is then forced into the foam tank under air pressure.• Once the barrel is empty, immediately close the air reservoir’s exhaust valve and the foam tank’s...
