Examining the occurrence frequency of tank fires we can show you the statistical data (published by LastFire project), as the quotient of number of fires and tank-year. The aim of research was fire tasks are fires in three main kinds of tank type: fixed cone roof tanks; open top floating roof tanks and internal floating roof tanks. The project investigates incidents occurred on atmospheric storage tanks having their diameter above 10 meters. We extinguished flammable liquid spill fires of various sizes with heavy foam and medium foam. The size of the liquid surface ranged from 50 square meters to 1,200 (twelve hundred) square meters. The enclosed data show that the shell temperatures developed similarly in the case of both tank sizes. In respect of extinguishing time almost identical data were obtained in both cases with the use of the same foam agent, “gun” type and solution strength.
