Abstract

Apparatus is described for admixing a foam-liquid solution with water in a predetermined proportion for use in a foam-water fire fighting system. The arrangement is such that the water supply line of the apparatus takes water out of the fire main and uses this water pressure to work a piston to develop pressure of the foam liquid so as to boost up this foam liquid pressure to a pressure that slightly exceeds the water pressure in the fire main.
