This invention relates to aqueous based fire fighting foams containing a stabilizing amount of an oligomer of the formula R1-E-S(O)n[M1]x[M2]y[M3]zH wherein R1 is an oleophilic aryl, araliphatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic group having up to 25 carbon atoms; E is a direct bond, or an organic covalently bonded divalent linking group, n is 0, 1 or 2, [M1] is a hydrophilic acrylamido monomer unit, [M2] is a copolymerizable non-acrylamido hydrophilic monomer unit, [M3] is a copolymerizable hydrophobic monomer unit, the average of the sum of x, y and z is between about 3 and about 500, and x/x+y+z is between 1 and about 0.5. These stabilizing oligomer additives in aqueous based fire fighting foams improve foam expansion, foam drainage and fire extinguishing times.
