Short title	A continuous pool blanket contrasts with foam failing to cover running fuel and a spray fire.
Image title	Left: a pool of liquid fuel in a tray is fully covered by a continuous foam blanket; only short, shrinking vapour arrows rise above it and there is no flame. Right top: fuel runs down a vertical wall and keeps burning on the wall while foam only lies in the small puddle at the bottom. Right bottom: a pressurised fuel spray from a pipe burns in the air while foam lies on the floor below it. Both right-hand cases show incomplete coverage; no particular agent is prescribed.
