Inicialmente lo estaba traduciendo como fire extinguiser, pero ahora veo que no lo es ya que se refiere a la fundación de las torres de los lanza espuma. Estos lanza espuma son parte de la sección de protección contra incendios.

Alguna sugerencia.

neutral Neil Ashby : Doesn't fit with the context, and the second ref. is an 'extintor de espuma contra-incendios' NOT a 'lanza espuma'.

Class A foam system (CAFS) / Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS)

From the context of the 'fundacion de las torres' I don't agree that it is a simple fire extinguisher attached to a wall, as you yourself doubt. I think it is a 'canon' extinguisher attached to the fire engine (or fire truck in USA), much bigger, much more powerful for extinguishing fires in appartment blocks, forrests, etc. This would be a long hose which is carried up the extendable ladder...there are a few examples of CAFS (see below) on the internet but I'm just guessing.
What makes me unsure are the 'losas de concreto' - not typical on a fire fighting vehicle.....?
