The fire department is focused on collecting the foam before it runs out into the local river.

Seems like it would be easier to collect by sliding a big tarp under it.

On the video in the article they are literally just flushing it away with hoses?

It says at the end of the article that the fire department is using suction hoses, probably the same they use when they help people with flooded basements. And they have deployed booms to prevent it from reaching the river.

Avoid foam in the pelvis
Brende at the 110-central says that the fire department now prioritizes the collection of foams at the pelvis Evja that runs just next to the workshop.
The foam that has been released should not be water-soluble, therefore it is critical if it runs into the creek, she says.
Lenses are now laid out to collect the foam, as well as 3 suction cars on the spot working to prevent the foam from running into the pelvis.

Something was lost in translation 🙂

Good thing that stuff is really toxic and never leaves the environment or the water.
