Why this safety advisory notice was developed

 Output Text:

The application of a blanket of hi-expansion foam over the cargo, during the night of 17 August 2007, was effective in preventing the fire from spreading until the local stocks of foam concentrate were exhausted.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau advises that the Fire and Emergency Services Authority of Western Australia should consider the safety implications of this safety issue and to take action where it is considered appropriate.
