Laying a foam path

These practice foam paths were a regular thing for the fire and rescue personnel at RAAF Pearce in West Australia. Two truck would lay the path in about 10 minutes

I believe this practice has been discontinued, can anyone tell me why, thanks.

Short answer is simply that it was not very effective and aircraft can easily skid across layered foam.
