Abstract

The paper deals with the issues of improving the efficiency of forest fire extinguishing by means of aircrafts using various additives to water. On a specially created test facility there are carried out fire tests on standardized fire suppression with water discharge simulation from the aircraft. Solutions of thickeners, flame retardants, wetting agents and their combinations are investigated as well as the choice of effective additives is justified.
