Foam School 2026 - 10th anniversary edition

The H2K Dr. Sthamer Foam School 2026 marks a special milestone — our 10th edition! Since the inaugural Foam School in 2016, the foam landscape has undergone significant transformation. Stricter regulations around PFAS, the introduction of fluorine-free foam concentrates, and the ongoing foam transition have fundamentally changed the knowledge and experience surrounding the use and application of firefighting foam.

New foam concentrates with different properties require alternative extinguishing systems and techniques. Over the years, the Foam School has evolved in response to practical insights and expertise from our dedicated instructors. This wealth of knowledge is reflected in numerous publications, including our latest guide published last autumn: “Use of Firefighting Foam in High-Risk Industries.” You can find these publications here: H2K Publications and the guide here: Foam School Guide.

Accredited by JOIFF, the Foam School stands out from other events by bringing together in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience — and we are eager to share this with you. Foam School 2026 will be a truly special edition. Preparations are underway, and registration is now open.

We look forward to welcoming you!
