Trivia:
The "red stuff" being dropped from the airplanes is Long Term Fire Retardant called PHOS-CHeK. It has been used by the US Forest Service for 50 years and is used to create a containment line around a wildfire. It is dropped as a liquid and will remain effective until it is washed off by heavy rain. The red color is used so pilots can see where to drop the next load to tie in with the line of previous drops. See more »
