From reader Danne, another fire retardant drop aftermath.
Well, that's one vehicle that'll be going back to the shop, after they cut the trees off of it.
Fire retardant drops from the air are far more dangerous than I ever thought.
Danne said, "Salvo drop on active fireline (Coconino NF). Snapped off trees like twigs."
I think that's from the Tinder Fire, that came within 100 yards of the White Wolf Mine, about 18 months ago now. (the hovel was under construction then).
ReplyDeleteMillions of little retardant particles hitting at the same time still equals quite a lot of mass impacting. The same thing would happen with water.
