Firefighting Foam Approved to Kill Bird Flu Poultry
The federal government has approved the use of firefighting foam to kill poultry that has been infected with bird flu (from heraldsun.com).
Foam can be used to suffocate floor-reared flocks -- chickens and turkeys raised primarily for meat -- to contain deadly bird flu, APHIS spokeswoman Karen Eggert said.
I looked around on the internet for some more specifics on the techniques that should be used, but didn't find anything.
Add this to the expanding role of the fire department.
