'''Firefoam''' is a flame-retardant foam that extinguishes [[fire]] on contact and prevents fire from spreading on tiles it covers. It acts as a form of [[Filth]], creating a significant [[beauty]] and [[cleanliness]] penalty. Firefoam will wash away with [[rain]] or [[snow]], or can be cleaned by colonists if the affected tiles are in the home area.  
'''Firefoam''' is a flame-retardant foam that extinguishes [[fire]] on contact and prevents fire from spreading on tiles it covers. It also gives the ''Covered in firefoam'' status to pawns standing inside, reducing [[Flammability]] to 0%. This status lasts for a short time after exiting firefoam.
 
  
Firefoam is considered [[filth]], creating a significant [[beauty]] and [[cleanliness]] penalty. Colonists will automatically clean firefoam in the [[home area]], and it will be washed away with [[rain]] or [[snow]].

Firefoam is generally released in an explosion. This explosion does no damage. The explosion will put out pawns and animals that are on fire, though the foam coating the ground does not actually extinguish fires.

It can also be created with the "'''T: Explosion (extinguisher)'''" [[Development mode]] command.
  
==Analysis==
 
 
Firefoam can be left in place long term as a defense against [[inferno cannon]] and other incendiary weapons. To do so the area must be roofed and be removed from the home zone to prevent pawns cleaning it.
