Perimeter Solutions, a pioneering manufacturer of high-quality fire retardant and firefighting foam, is introducing the Perimeter Solutions Industrial Foam School, a comprehensive, two-day training program designed for industrial firefighters, hazmat teams, and municipal firefighters who support industrial facilities.
The first Industrial Foam School session will take place at the Delaware State Fire Academy in Dover, DE, on May 28-29, 2025.
Fluorine-free firefighting foams
“Firefighting foam plays a critical role in combating fires, helping to reduce the amount of time firefighters spend on scene, which ultimately improves both firefighter and community safety,” says Mark Siem, Chemist and Manager of Business Development at Perimeter Solutions.
“The Perimeter Solutions Industrial Foam School will equip firefighters with the essential knowledge and skills needed to effectively use today’s advanced fluorine-free firefighting foams.”

Attendees will receive in-depth training on everything they need to know about foam, including application techniques and how to preplan for an incident using fluorine-free firefighting foam. Where permitted, firefighters will receive hands-on training with real foam rather than training foam.
Attendees will have the opportunity to use Perimeter Solutions’ advanced fluorine-free firefighting foam solutions, including:
- SOLBERG® VERSAGARD™ 1x3
- SOLBERG® VERSAGARD™ AS-100
- SOLBERG® RE-HEALING™ 3x3 SP-100

The cost to attend the Industrial Foam School at the Delaware State Fire Academy is $599 per participant, with a maximum of 30 attendees per session. Siem says that more sessions will be added to the schedule across the U.S. and Canada in 2025 and 2026.
