California Wildfires Day 7: What is Pink Powder? How Phos-Check Fighting LA Pacific Palicades Fire?

Bright pink powder blanketing Los Angeles has caught the attention of many as fire retardant Phos-Chek is dropped by air tankers to control wildfires.

Its increasing use reflects the growing challenge of combating wildfires in a changing climate.
