This article analyzes the fire extinguishing efficiency of hydrocarbon and fluorinated film-forming foaming agent. It was revealed that fluorinated blowing agents have a number of significant advantages over hydrocarbon. The main ones are: ensuring inertness when feeding from foam of various heights and distances, long-term prevention of reignition, extinguished petroleum product, the possibility of extinguishing hydrocarbon flames by supplying foam to the base of the tank, directly into the fuel layer
