@milopax.tt: Why Do Firefighting Planes Drop Red Liquid? 🤔🚒✈️ Water cools flames but can evaporate quickly, while fire retardant coats vegetation and slows the fire’s spread. The bright red color is simply dye—it helps pilots and firefighters see where the retardant has already been dropped so coverage isn’t missed. Did you know the red color was just a marker? 👇 #firefighting #wildfire #aviation #usa

Jack_brown :

its a powder not a liquid

Mike84 :

We need these sent to Wales, United Kingdom. We in state of emergency.

Ryan Selkirk III :

why dont they make the trees out of chemical

lordylordylordy1 :

And kills everything

wcfCan :

I was told it was animal guts. which helps stop fire and regrow the forest. I think i was lied to.

super cj :

we may need one sent over to the uk at this rate

brianberesford39 :

uuuhhh yes and no the red stuff just slowes it down the ones that stop the fires are the people firescrews as well as firemen

_weareallanonymous_ :

them planes ai? a passenger jet?

d :

y did Canada help usa with the fire. but Canada let's are fire burn 🔥

Jackstrr :

Isn't it a forever chemical?

Wilbur :

Thank you. This one of the more accurate, yet simple, explanations I’ve heard. There’s a lot of science behind how phoschek (the retardant) actually works such as heat reactive chemical changes etc and it a good read if you want to look it up.

Bear :

Its actually called Phos-Chek, fire retardant is what it is.

Queen Of Revelations :

Sounds healthy

jolleroger :

okay that was clever

billyhall :

We called it slurry and was always glad to see it show up on a fire air support's always thankful even though I'm retired.

Arnaud De Temmerman :

And it's made in Belgium! 🇧🇪

Candyboy :

Pg-240x

whatever :

big business and business is booming!
