SoyFoam Fire Suppression Demo at SD State Fire School
July 7, 2025
At the 2025 South Dakota Fire School, a live demonstration showcased SoyFoam, a biodegradable firefighting foam made from U.S. soybeans. Unlike traditional foams containing PFAS “forever chemicals,” SoyFoam offers the same fire suppression performance without the toxic legacy.
Backed by the South Dakota Soybean Checkoff, containers of SoyFoam have been distributed to fire departments across the state. It’s a powerful example of farmer-led innovation supporting clean water, community safety, and new uses for homegrown soybeans.
