In this paper, the authors determine by calculation, for a storage reservoir design for petroleum products, with a volume of 50,000 m 3 , the required amount of foam that will be used to extinguish a fire that broke out in it. The reservoir for which the calculation is made is in the park reservoir within S.C. Oil Terminal S.A. Constanta -South Platform. The paper presents the constructive characteristics of the reservoir, for which the calculation is made, the constructive characteristics of the special extinguishing installation, the physico-chemical characteristics of the petroleum substances (gasoline, crude oil), as well as the physico-chemical characteristics of the foaming liquid used for extinguishing the fire. The calculation is made on the basis of the Norm on the fire safety of buildings, Part II Extinguishing Installations Indicative P118/2-2013, as well as on the basis of information from the Methodology for calculating the forces and means necessary for extinguishing fires.
