Here's a few sites to look at
http://life.csu.edu.au/bushfire99/papers/adams/
http://www.fs.fed.us/rm/fire/Fire_Chemicals_Defined.html
http://www.cerc.cr.usgs.gov/pubs/center/pdfDocs/fire_chem_scr.pdf
there are additional contacts listed. Although I'd characterize what
I've read as providing low risk for short term/limited exposure as per a
walk through of an affected area, if you have concerns contact the
agencies for additional information. As many of these aerial spray
agents are really surfactants - to make the water wetter - similar to
those used for brush fires in your local area another suggestion is to
contact the local fire department and ask to read the labels on the
foaming agents they use.

BTW - we have a crew at Chimayo New Mexico (about 40 straight line miles
from Cimarron) this week; we are scheduled to Philmont '03.
