How does the roof turret typically discharge foam?

The roof turret is designed to deliver large volumes of foam quickly in emergency situations, particularly during aircraft firefighting scenarios. The typical discharge rate of 500-1500 gallons per minute reflects the turret's capacity to provide effective fire suppression over a wide area, ensuring a rapid and powerful application of foam where it's needed most.

This range allows for flexibility in responding to different sizes and intensities of fires, enabling fire crews to efficiently manage incidents while maintaining a safe distance. The high discharge rates are essential for combating fuel-based fires common in aircraft incidents, making the roof turret a critical component in the firefighting arsenal. Other ranges listed do not align with operational standards for roof turrets, which are engineered for high-volume discharge during emergencies.
