Thanx, Mike, it helped a lot.  I hadn't heard about this stuff. But the articles you referenced don't explain how it's used.  Is it drawn into the stream through the foam system?  Come in 5 gallon cans like foam concentrate?  Carried by the Squads?  Sounds like it is really useful for manhole fires. 
 
I know some companies have been given little containers about 6 ounces that is mixed into a 2 1/2 gallon can and then can be used.
