A method and system for protecting an object from fire are provided. The system comprises a composition including water, a solid particulate material, and a foaming agent, the composition being aeratable to form an aerated slurry, and an apparatus to aerate the composition to form the aerated slurry and to apply the aerated slurry to the object. Upon application, the aerated slurry forms a thermally-insulating layer adapted to substantially cover a surface of the object, thereby protecting the object from fire damage. The thermally-insulating layer is further adapted to dry on the surface of the object, and whereby the thermally-insulating layer is removable from the surface of the object by application of water. |
