For years fire departments have been using surfactants to change the surface tension of water. My best way to explain the surface tension of water is to look at a water bug that is floating on the surface by just touching it's (feet?) I have no idea what it is called. If you look closely it looks like the water is bending under the feet and holding the bug up. By changing the surface tension of water this may get better or worse for the bug.
Surfactants make it worse for the bug but for fire fighting it's better by letting water absorb into plant life or even dry plant life easier. There are many products from the Water Wetter to dishwashing detergent.
