          Application No. 08/786,974                                                  


               a source of pressurized gas mounted on said backpack;                  
               means for producing a flow of said fire suppressant foam               
          fluid from said source of said fire suppressant foam fluid;                 
               means for injecting a flow of said pressurized gas into                
          said flow of said fire suppressant foam fluid to create the                 
          fire suppressant foam;                                                      
               means for expanding the fire suppressant foam; and                     
               means for delivering the fire suppressant foam.                        


                                      CLAIM 12                                        

               A method for generating fire suppressant foam using                    
          apparatus comprising a backpack, a source of fire suppressant               
          foam fluid mounted on said backpack, and a source of                        
          pressurized gas mounted on said backpack, said method                       
          comprising the steps of:                                                    
               producing a flow of said fire suppressant foam fluid from              
          said source of said fire suppressant foam fluid;                            





               injecting a flow of said pressurized gas into said flow                
          of said fire suppressant foam fluid to create the fire                      
          suppressant foam;                                                           

               expanding the fire suppressant foam; and                               
               delivering the fire suppressant foam via a delivery                    
          system.                                                                     
                                         A-2
