Firefighters use wetting agents to make water wetter 🚰💦

The chemicals reduce the surface tension of plain water so it’s easier to spread and better soaks into objects, which is why it’s known as “wet water.”

That’s pretty cool! It’s amazing how a small tweak like adding wetting agents can make such a big difference in firefighting. By reducing the water’s surface tension, it can penetrate materials more effectively, making it a powerful tool in battling fires. It’s like giving water an upgrade!
