Two years later his first patent – for the rubber-lined fire hose – revolutionized firefighting by making it possible to pump water through hose, rather than draw it by suction. At the time, the Mayor of Boston reported a 100 feet of Boyd’s fire hose would do the same work as 60 men – and do it more efficiently, faster and safer. In the 1920’s, Boyd’s company changed its name to National Foam and began developing firefighting foams and delivery systems. In the years since, nearly every major fire department in the U.S., the United States Armed Forces and tens of thousands of corporate firefighting teams have trusted National Foam to help them save countless lives and billions of dollars in property. Much in the world has changed in the 200 years since James Boyd’s vision formore effective fire control began to take shape. His company, however, carried on his legacy of innovation. Today, National Foam is the acknowledged world leader in foam firefighting, claiming the most patents of any company in the industry. 2018– Launch of Universal®F3 Green, a superior quality synthetic fluorine free foam concentrate, designed for extinguishing and securing all types of flammable liquid fires and Class A incidents 2016 – Completion of transition to C6 foam technology. 2016– Automated Touch Screen PLC controls on Big Flow systems 2011 – First Portable Foam System delivered flowing greater than 10,000 GPM 2010 – First Marine Assault Unit 2007 – Environmentally responsible high expansion foam and generator set 2006 – First Triton-6,000 GPM water supply submersible pump system 2004 – First Neptune- 6,000 GPM water supply pump system 2000 – First Iron Man-10,000-12,000 GPM water cannon 1999 – First Dominator-portable 5,000 GPM pump 1997 – New selectable aspirating/non-aspirating foam nozzle 1991 – Introduction of Universal Gold first patented 1 X 3% AR-AFFF 1982 – First Servo command foam proportioning system 1979 – First foam training school First fire modeling lab for evaluation of foam performance 1976 – NF’s long-standing emergency response service was formalized and named Red Alert 1973 – First foam AR-AFFF 1969 – The first oscillating monitor First emergency response service 1965 – First FluoroProtein foam 1964 – First Patented High Back Pressure Foam Maker 1963 – First Foam fire apparatus with automatic balanced pressure proportioning 1960 – First Dual agent truck for both foam and dry chemical 1955 – First large-capacity foam nozzle, monitor First hydraulic foam tower 1952 – First foam-water sprinkler system 1948 – First complete mechanical foam fire protections systems 1943 – National foam honored by the James Forestall, Under Secretary to the Navy Department for outstanding war production achievements. 1933 – First polar solvent foam 1928 – First U.S. manufacturer of firefighting foam- National Foam System, Incorporated 1903 – First front wheel drive fire apparatus introduced 1859 – First cotton fire hose and expansion coupling 1819 – First U.S. manufacturer of fire hose INNOVATION QUALITY CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY MEMBERSHIPS HISTORY RED ALERT SERVICE CALL 610-363-1400 Copyright © 2015 | Privacy Policy | All rights reserved | Conditions of Sale | Conditions of Purchase | Modern Slavery Statement Website developed by Prominent Media Ltd.
