The BMC is planning to introduce a Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) to enhance firefighting efficiency in the high-rise buildings.
“CAFS offers superior fire suppression capabilities. This technology combines water, foam concentrate, and compressed air to produce a powerful firefighting foam that is more effective than traditional water-based methods”, said a Mumbai Fire Brigade (MFB) official.
