USAAF Fire Fighting

Chaps, this is a bit of an unusual question, but I'm confident someone will know the answer.

While attempting to put out fires on crashed aircraft during WW2, did the USAAF use a foam-based extinguisher? I seem to remember seeing photos of various ships covered in foam, but am unable to locate pictures at present to clarify this.

Also, I would like to confirm that fire-fighting crews on USAAF bases wore asbestos protective clothing?

Hope someone can help.

Thank you
