Where are the AFFF monitors located?

The AFFF (Aqueous Film Forming Foam) monitors are strategically placed on the port and starboard (stbd) tops of the hangar primarily due to their function in fire suppression systems for aircraft and related equipment. This location provides optimal coverage for potential fire scenarios that can occur in the hangar area, where aircraft are present and could pose significant fire risks, particularly during fueling operations or if a fire breaks out on an aircraft.

Positioning the AFFF monitors on the hangar tops allows for quick deployment and effective distribution of foam over a fire, ensuring that it can create a barrier between the fire and the surrounding environment. This placement is crucial for protection and safety in facilities that handle flammable materials and operate complex machinery. The AFFF system is designed to rapidly suppress fires and minimize damage, making their strategic positioning essential for effective firefighting operations in these high-risk areas.
